Jonathan Scott can't stop gushing over girlfriend Zooey Deschanel's home design skills!

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at Elton John's 31st Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party on Sunday, the Property Brothers star, 44, opened up about what it was like working with his girlfriend on their stunning L.A. home remodel.

"She has incredible taste, so she picked a lot of the finishes and the wallpapers and things like that," Jonathan told PEOPLE of Deschanel, 43. During the renovation process, he focused on construction while the New Girl alum took on the role of interior designer.

"I've never in my life trusted somebody else to make any design decisions in my house," he continued. "So when we were doing it for our house, it was nerve-wracking, but she's incredible."
