Carpet or Hardwood floors

[Dave Laird]

I have a 100 year hold house with hardwood floors in two bedrooms (pic below). The main floor will stay as hardwood floors. 

To sand and refinish the floors would cost the same as putting carpet down about $1600. 

What are the pros and cons? 

Cheers

I just refinished 320 sq ft of hardwood floor in one of my rentals. I did it myself for under $200. Looks awesome. And yes it's a lot of work but worth it.
