Alexandra Bandon, Multimedia Editor
Alex Bandon, multimedia editor at This Old House magazine, 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.
Since joining the company in 1999, Alex has overseen the magazine's coverage of This Old House television projects and edits its core service stories. She's also the author of The Shelter Life, a blog on thisoldhouse.com that chronicles her life as an urban DIYer.
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 prestigious collection of power tools that she somehow manages to fit into a converted linen closet.
