THE INTERNET—Times are tough, both for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and for print publishing. Which must be why Living Social has a deal: for the next two weeks, $19 buys you an one-year subscription to both Martha Stewart Living and Everyday Food. [Living Social]

EVERYWHERE—HGTV has announced The White Room Challenge, a new show that asks designers to overhaul a 10-by-10-foot white room "using such outrageous elements as candy treats, dumpster-dived treasures or more than 1,500 flowers." Premiere date: April 24 at 9 p.m. EST; network personality David Bromstad will host. [CurbedWire]

Looks like Kelly Wearstler's not the only interiors whiz to hop into fashion: Jonathan Adler is doing so too. Motivated by customers who "say that a pillow or vase design would make a great accessory," the interior designer has launched a collection of totes and clutches, as well as items such as needlepoint sunglasses cases. Bags run $38 to $250; "more substantial" pieces are planned for fall but spring accessories are available online now.

These days, interior designer and ceramicist Jonathan Adler is making news not only for crafting fancy toilet-paper rolls or fancy votives, but for contributing a video to the excellent and moving It Gets Better Project, aimed at inspiring LGBT youth who "can't imagine a future for themselves." The YouTube-based campaign was created in 2010 by columnist Dan Savage as a response to the ever-growing crop of national news reports about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender teens committing suicide, and has grown to include endorsements from such famous folks as Neil Patrick Harris, Ellen DeGeneres, and Kathy Griffin.

In a 1:20 video, Adler—by Curbed's count the first major design-industry player thus far—recounts the bleaker parts of his childhood: "When I was a kid, I felt like a freak," he says. "I felt like there was no hope, and I would never, ever, ever be able to be who I wanted to be and reveal my true self. And so I was depressed, and so I took a lot of salvation in my pottery studio. I was obsessed with making pottery, and that was my sort of dream fantasy world." He encourages viewers to pursue a "life of creativity": "Follow your passion, make art, be creative, learn to draw, and it will get so much better." Here, watch:

On the Market: An Impeccable Italianate Villa by David Adler on Lake Michigan

× Like us and you'll find top breaking news in your Facebook newsfeed. Sign up for our daily email newsletter and get top stories and breaking news delivered to your inbox. Thursday, December 8, 2011, by Rob Bear

The prolific early 20th-century architect David Adler was responsible for many grand estates, but perhaps none was so well executed—or, today, so well preserved—as this Italianate mansion on the shores of Lake Michigan. Built in 1916, the six-bedroom, 15,000-square-foot villa enjoys an intricately paved courtyard entry, spacious entertaining rooms, stately ivy, magnificent gardens originally designed by Ralph Rodney Root, and a look that is positively, spot-on Italian. Sadly, the listing makes no mention of the property being available furnished, so the next owner will have to pony up to replicate the old-world feel of the interiors after spending $5.59M to acquire the property. At least that's a chop down from the $6.95M cited when Arch Digest stopped by for their monthly listing round-up.

My First Rental: Interior Designer Jonathan Adler on Sleeping in a Nursery

JA-36_crop.jpg"My first rental apartment was kind of a bittersweet affair. It was sweet because I roomed with the most divine girl named Julia, whom I love—she's a really good friend of mine—in a very, very glamorous doorman building on 9th Street between 5th and 6th [avenues in NYC]. The bitter part was that I was sleeping in the nursery, which had baby-blue infant wallpaper with little balloons and elephants, and it was just big enough to fit my full-size—wait for it—futon. So needless to say I couldn't sleep for a year because I was sleeping on a futon but it was a very, very pleasant place to spend sleepless nights staring up at the happy balloons and elephants."
