A self-described "Jack of all trades,"[2] Pennington learned woodworking early in life. After attending Sprayberry High School in Marietta Georgia, he attended Kennesaw College, following which he received his undergraduate degree in graphic design from the Art Institute of Atlanta while working his way through school as a carpenter, and continued to work in carpentry after graduation while taking classes in painting and sculpture at the Atlanta College of Art. During his final semester, Pennington was approached by a modeling scout, and soon began a lucrative career. He traveled the world and landed print jobs for J.Crew, Swatch and Sprite, and appeared in television spots for Diet Coke, Levi's, and Macy's, among others.

Pennington parlayed his hands-on skills and design acumen into a career in the entertainment industry, becoming a set designer, including for the critically acclaimed film Leaving Las Vegas in 1995. However, his professional breakthrough came through The Learning Channel’s innovative hit show Trading Spaces. He quickly became known for his off-the-wall sense of humor and creative style during four years as the show's playful designer and carpenter. Pennington has also taken a hand into acting as well. In 2003 he played Wilbur Wright in the independent film The Adventures of Ociee Nash and in 2004 he made an appearance on the TV series Wild Card.

When ABC began developing a show that would transform the homes of deserving families in seven days or less, Pennington was chosen as the leader of the eight-person design team. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition went on to be a huge hit, and catapulted Pennington into the mainstream. This led to an endorsement deal with Sears, a sponsor of the show. In January of 2005, Pennington fell ill and underwent an emergency appendectomy, taping an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition while in the hospital. Now entering into his fifth season on the show, Ty spends 240 days out of the year working on the show, and declares it to be "the greatest job in the world."

Prior to his partnership with Sears, Pennington was the owner and designer of his own online furniture company, Furniture Unlimited, which is based in Atlanta and Los Angeles. Today, however, he lends his name to Sears, with their design team guiding the design of every item in the Ty Pennington Style line of bedding, tabletop items, bath accessories, and other miscellaneous home decor. He has actually very little say in the design of the furniture. In addition to his involvement in design, marketing promotions and public relations activities for Sears, Pennington is also active in community outreach through the Sears American Dream Campaign.

Aside from his several jobs, Ty lives a basically normal life, as he puts it. He currently resides in the Los Angeles suburb of Venice, California with his manager and girlfriend of 8 years, Drea Bock. An article on TMZ.com reports that there was a lawsuit filed against Pennington and his wife.
DUI arrest Pennington was arrested on suspicion of DUI on May 5, 2007 at 12:35 am in Los Angeles.[3] He was released on $5,000 bail. [4] Pennington issued an apology shortly after. It was later revealed that Pennington had a .14 blood alcohol level when he was stopped. The legal limit in California is .08.[5]
His publicist released this statement from him: "We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone."[6]
"This was my wake-up call," Pennington said. "I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused." [7]
On June 25, 2007, Ty pleaded "No Contest" to the two charges, one of which was dropped. For the remaining charge he was fined $390, received 36 months probation, 90 days suspended driver's license, 90 days in an alcohol treatment program, and for community service was required to attend a Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) seminar, all terms of which he has agreed to follow. A Spokesperson for the Los Angeles city attorney said that this punishment is common for first time DUI cases and that Pennington received no special treatment. In the months since his arrest, he did manage to take control of the situation very well. Few fans were outraged by the incident, and Pennington says that most of them have been very supportive. He has also cleared up any problems with ABC and has already made his return as host of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". He and the other nine designers; Michael Moloney, Tracy Hutson-Watson, Paul DiMeo, Paige Hemmis, Preston Sharp, Ed Sanders, Eduardo Xol, Tanya McQueen, and John Littlefield have completed the first two makeovers of the fifth season as of July 7.
