Alexandra Bandon, Online Editor
Alex Bandon, editor of thisoldhouse.com, fully believes that someday she will own a 4-story brick Greek Revival row house in New York City's West Village. Until then, she indulges her renovation and design passions by writing about other people's homes and by single-handedly renovating her own rented one-bedroom apartment.
Alex started working for This Old House magazine in 1999, where she oversaw the magazine's coverage of This Old House television projects and edited its core service stories. Eventually her job grew to include working with thisoldhouse.com, for which she produced and directed original videos and wrote The Shelter Life, a blog that chronicles her life as an urban DIYer. She became editor of the website in August, 2009.
Before coming to This Old House, Alex wrote and edited lifestyle pieces for The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Modern Bride and New York Magazine covering film, fashion, food and real estate.
Alex's publishing career began as a freelancer for House Beautiful, Ms. and Working Woman magazines.
A graduate of Colgate University, Alex has been featured on CNN and apartmenttherapy.com. She currently lives in Manhattan's West Village where she has painted, plastered and renovated every room in her apartment, including a 440 square-foot garden. Her most prized possession is a formidable collection of power tools that she somehow manages to fit into a converted linen closet.
