    I just finished spackling and sanding a spare bedroom that I gutted/insulated/sheetrocked.
    Tomorrow I'll start primer, then paint.
    But I'm trying to decide what to do with the floor. Its hardwood, so I was planning on sanding it and refinishing it. But now I'm thinking carpet. It's easier and nice on the feet when you get out of bed, warmer.
    Any thoughts?

    IMHO, bedrooms should be carpet, kitchens and bathrooms should be tile, and everything else should be hardwood.

    My first thought was spray paint. But for the cost and work involved I think, buy new ones.
