"Many people\u2014myself included\u2014would say that Architectural Digest has been a major part of our lives for decades. For that we can credit the energy and vision of Paige Rense Noland. A legendary figure in the interior design industry, she guided AD with a remarkably clear, confident viewpoint; steady hand; and famously resolute will, transforming a pokey trade publication into the leading interiors magazine in the world.\n\nAs editor in chief from 1975 until November 2010, Paige built AD into America's ultimate dream book, inviting readers into intriguing homes around the globe, from Hollywood mansions to Balinese huts to Cape Cod cottages to European palaces. Acclaimed international editions of the magazine were launched under her watch, and along the way, award-winning writers and celebrated photographers left their signature imprints on all those pages\u2014and they will continue to do so as AD evolves and expands.\n\nSince I've returned to Cond\u00E9 Nast (the company is where I started my career as a design editor), every moment that I'm not planning future issues of AD has been spent rediscovering the magazine's rich past, including the enchanting series of Architectural Digest books Paige edited. That extraordinary legacy has given my staff and me so much to think about as we take AD to the next level. In the foreword to Designers' Own Homes, published just over 25 years ago, Paige writes, \"Everyone has, I think, in some quiet corner of the mind, an ideal home waiting to become a reality.\" But why wait? AD will always be the place to find the ideas, talent, and sources to make your dreams come to fruition.\n\n\u2014MARGARET RUSSELL, EDITOR IN CHIEF\n\n editor@archdigest.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
