Yeah, will totally drop the resale value. Sundry and assorted mixed hardware set into clear epoxy would be a really weird aesthetic in a bedroom as well. Might work in a workshop, but not a bedroom. The whole reason the penny floor thing works is that they are uniform thickness and relatively thin so you don;t need that thick a coat of epoxy to achieve a smooth finish. You want something along those lines - something where whatever you are putting in the floor will be relatively flat and uniform already, and you are simply encapsulating it in epoxy.
Depending on where you are, if you are considering hard floors for a bedroom, you may want to consider heated floor compatible finishes. Thats one of the main reasons why folks carpet bedrooms
