Fill hearth with gold

We’re restoring our floors and have a hearth from an old fireplace still in the room. Unfortunately the hearth is cracked. I’m not sure what material it is but it’s a Victorian terrace in London. My husband has the idea that kintsugi could be a beautiful way of restoring it. How would you recommend we do this?

Painting over paint samples

I’ve decided to paint the wall a pale pink (setting plaster farrow and ball) so I’ve been sanding down the samples. How far should I sand for the colour not to be noticeable when painted over? I’m worried that you’re going to be able to see the dark colour under the pink. The one on the left is the one we’re going with

Are these floor boards or sub floors? Can I bring them back to life?

Hello, we’ve looked under the carpet and found these floorboards. I want to know whether, if I remove all the carpet, I can sand them down, fill the gaps and vanish them to use? Or whether I would need to put flooring on top?

If I can use them what tips do you have to refurb them?

How to remove woodchip wallpaper from the celling

hello, I’m looking at removing wood wallpaper from the ceiling of a few rooms in the house. My understanding is that I could use a steamer and scrape it to get rid of the wallpaper and then scrape and clean any residue glue or adhesive. Then filling any gaps and sand down. Then use a primer/ sealer before painting. Is this right?
