Michael Boodro Named Editor-in-Chief at Elle Decor

Elle Decor, which lately has made us reconsider our lifelong bias against chandeliers in domestically scaled interiors, has a new editor-in-chief. Today former executive editor Michael Boodro officially takes the helm of Hachette Filipacchi’s art-savvy, idea-stuffed shelter magazine, one of the few to survive—and thrive—amidst the category’s recent implosion (R.I.P. Metropolitan Home, Domino, House and Garden, and O at Home). Boodro has completed a couple of stints as executive editor at Elle Decor, first from 2004 to 2006 and then again from 2009 to yesterday (and you’ll no doubt recall his tenure as editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Living in the in-between time).
