And empowering families is our purpose.

Founded by interior stylist and community leader Cheryl Mosley, Elsewhere by Design is dedicated to transforming lives through the power of home.

“Our homes should speak to who we are and who we want to become. At Elsewhere by Design, we help families find that voice again. This work is deeply personal for me. It’s a reminder that transformation is always possible. Every space we design tells a family, ‘You’ve got this. Your next chapter is waiting. I know it’s possible, because it has happened in my own life.”

Mission: Elsewhere by Design partners with families to transform homes and empower lives.

Vision: We envision communities where families find renewed hope, reimagine their lives, and design empowered futures.

 
 

At Elsewhere by Design, our mission is to partner with families to transform homes and empower lives — homes can be places where families can heal, grow, and rebuild their lives. We know that having a stable home is life-changing, but making it truly feel like home is what helps families reclaim their journeys and move forward with hope and confidence. Through thoughtful design and continued support, we empower families to see what’s possible and build a future filled with stability, dignity, and possibility.

Our vision is to see families in Roanoke, VA, and beyond transform their lives through the power of home. We believe that a thoughtfully designed space can inspire hope, foster stability, and open the door to new possibilities. By creating homes that reflect each family's journey and dreams, we’re helping them reclaim their futures and build stronger connections to their community. Our hope is to break cycles of hardship by showing families that home is where healing begins, growth happens, and brighter futures are designed.

Our Core Strategies

  • Empowerment Through Home
    We transform empty spaces into personalized, nurturing homes that provide families with a stable foundation to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

  • Building Community Connections
    We partner with local agencies and organizations across the Roanoke Valley to strengthen the entire community, sharing resources, insights, and support to help more families thrive.

  • Sustained Family Support
    Our work goes beyond design — we stay connected with families after their home transformations, helping them build lasting stability and access the resources they need to succeed.

  • A Legacy of Hope and Possibility
    We’re committed to creating lasting impact by breaking cycles of instability and showing families that their future is filled with dignity, hope, and possibility.
