Ty Penningtonis bringing the beach into his home renovation plans.
In the opening of the clip, Shonnie explains that the pair are looking to make the space featured into another primary bedroom so that they have two primary suites. “That’s major value,” she explains.
As she wonders about adorning the walls of the room with wallpaper, Josh tells Shonnie he was instead “thinking of something fresh off the beach” like “banana leaves” to cover the space.
“I feel like we’ve hit our creative block, but this is where the game changes,” Josh says in the clip, before Pennington joins him and Shonnie to go over plans for the bedroom.
Pennington then suggests that they do some “fan work of palmetto leaves” on the wall, which he says will appear “almost like a sun.”
As the duo grin at Pennington’s suggestion, Shonnie asks theTrading Spacesalum if he had planned to say that with Josh because of his surprisingly similar suggestion.

“It’s really interesting that working with Josh and Shonnie, we are all, sort of, firing on the same cylinders when it comes to ideas,” Pennington then tells the camera during a confessional. “It’s pretty mind-blowing.”

“I have admired Kellee from afar for years. She’s a beautiful person inside and out,” Pennington tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Luckily our paths finally crossed at the right time. It’s one of those things where you just feel happy being around a person. I never thought I would get married, but she changed that. Glad I waited for the one.”
