"After a yearlong renovation in his home, Editorial Director, Decorating Kevin Sharkey is sharing his dos and don'ts for a successful transformation. Read on to benefit from his wisdom and avoid future home headaches.

Do Create a Decorating File

Start pulling everything and anything that you like or think you would like to see in the space.

Do Measure Everything

Take good and accurate drawings of floor plans and elevations. Don't forget door sizes, stairwells, and elevators.

Do Interview Your Contractor

Interview your contractor or decorator as if you were interviewing a potential spouse. Essentially, that is what they will become during a renovation process.

Do Be Realistic About Renovation Costs

Know this going in: Everything will cost 30 percent more and take 25 percent longer than you expected.

Don't Hate Dust

Learn to love dust. Don't take it out on your contractor or yourself. You can feel better if you keep a great vacuum around and plenty of rags.

Do Be Nice

Be nice to everyone involved. The relationship is important, and it's always evolving. You don't want to be angry two weeks in and then have to live with this person another three to six months.
