(CNN) Facing rising prices and deep voter dissatisfaction, the White House this week is launching a month-long effort to signal heavy focus on the economy as inflation worries become the top concern for the White House before this fall's midterm elections.

The push began on Monday with an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal and continues Tuesday with an Oval Office sit-down between Biden, Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. At the end of the week, Biden plans a speech on the new jobs report Friday. ...

Now a showcase for reclaimed, salvaged and repurposed materials, including wood from a local barn, this early 1900s Craftsman house on Long Island, location of some of the world's best homes, had been stripped of most of its original character in the 1980s.   'The client, a musician, wanted a rustic bachelor pad,' says Kathryn Hunt of Kathryn Hunt Studio who was brought in to work on the project. Originally bought as a primary residence, it's now used as a weekend getaway and has a rustic modern farmhouse vibe.  The project was a full gut renovation that took seven months. 'We wanted to stick with the original footprint of the home, so we didn't do any expansion,' says Kathryn. 'Since the home is small, we looked for ways to maximize the living space. We opened the wall from the kitchen to the dining room to create an open floor plan. The structure didn't support a large beam, so we ended up with the columns. I like that yo...
