It depends on a couple things:

- If it’s a nice tiled shower, you want to show it off as opposed to hiding it behind a translucent curtain; so, in that case, definitely use a clear glass door;

- If it’s a fiberglass shower, it’s going to depend on the price range of the house. In a lower price range, a curtain should be just fine. In a higher price range, you’re probably better going with at least a cheap glass door.

For reference, depending on the width of the opening, you may be able to find a standard shower door at Home Depot for under $200…

When you have a stand alone shower like you have in the master bath in this house, do you typically attach a glass door or just hang a shower curtain? I’m rehabbing a house now and was looking at shower doors and didn’t realize how expensive they are. I don’t know how much a shower door would help or hurt when selling the property.

I can put down nice, new carpet for less than it would take to refinish hardwoods (the bulk of all the carpet made in the U.S. is only about 90 minutes from where I live). So, unless I needed hardwood as a selling point, or unless it were a higher-end rehab, I would generally just use new carpet in the bedrooms.

That said, if refinishing the hardwood were cheaper, and if I were certain the owner would prefer that over carpet, there’s certainly nothing wrong with hardwood in the bedrooms.

Another thing to consider is the climate…if it gets excessively cold (like where you live), carpet may be a better choice just from an insulation and comfort standpoint.

Definitely true about staging. I would have loved to have seen this one staged…it would have looked amazing. But, then again, I’m pretty happy that I likely won’t have to stage it!
