Stop letting home projects turn into relationship stress.
The workshop + planning system designed to help couples create peaceful, functional spaces together without arguing over decorating decisions, budgets, or clashing styles.
THE PROBLEM
Have you ever heard the expression, "If you want to test your marriage, try hanging wallpaper together"? Boy oh boy is that true.
Decorating together sounds fun in theory… until the disagreements start.
Paint colors. Money spending. Furniture styles. Layout decisions. Functionality. Priorities.
One person wants the home to feel beautiful. The other wants it to function better. One wants to spend money carefully while the other feels desperate for change now.
And when communication feels scattered or frustrating, projects often stall out completely or create unnecessary tension in the relationship.
AND WE'RE HERE TO CHANGE THAT.
FEATURED IN:
Create a home together peacefully
Your home should feel like a place that supports both of you, not a source of tension and endless disagreements.
This workshop helps couples communicate more clearly, blend styles more thoughtfully, budget more wisely, and create shared goals for their home projects.
Because decorating gets easier when everyone feels heard.
A shared vision changes everything
The most satisfying homes aren’t created by one person making every decision alone.
They’re created when couples work together to build spaces that support both personalities, lifestyles, and needs.
This workshop helps you create that shared vision with less stress and more clarity.

"I'm really glad my husband and I started doing this."
"I’m really glad my husband and I started doing the partner tutorial. Our styles are way different! And I never realized that."
LAURA S, HOMEOWNER
"The most helpful! My husband has access, so he no longer needs to ask me."
"OMG the measurement pages and the source pages have been the most helpful. We just bought our house last year and have already started home improvements.
Being able to look at my spreadsheet to see room dimensions, etc is just the best. On top of that, instead of writing all the paint colors and other purchases down and losing that notebook, I now have everything right on my phone and laptop!
For instance, I needed to purchase a new hallway runner and I got an email while at work about a sale at the rug store that I had been looking at. I immediately opened my phone to check the hallway dimensions and was able to shop for and purchase a new runner without any guesswork.
My husband also has access to it, so he no longer needs to ask me."
DONNA H, HOMEOWNER
We've learned a lot the hard way... so you don't have to.
HEY! WE'RE LAUREN AND ROBERT SHAVER!
We have been DIY content creators since 2013, and over the years our work has been featured by Good Morning America, Better Homes & Gardens, Country Living, Good Housekeeping, and many more publications... but this DIY life didn't start out easily.
Behind every beautiful room and finished project were a LOT of conversations, lessons learned, stressful moments, budget discussions, and figuring out how to create a home together as a team.
We know firsthand that home projects can either bring couples closer together… or create unnecessary overwhelm and tension when communication breaks down.
That’s exactly why we created Design Lab Partner to help couples navigate decorating decisions with more clarity, organization, teamwork, and peace.
