altering my garden with new design

Thanks Emmeline & Najeebah for your replies. Its a beautiful cinnamon tree. Najeebah, its a well growing tree..I would like to retain it at the current spot and have the living room adjoining it. According to the house plan, there would be only 4'depth from the wall to the main house. N since we live in a tropical region, i would not want the tree to be fully indoor. Mosquitoes & other small insects could find their way into the living area during the monsoon season. How can i show its beauty?Pls advise

Hey, The first step to any renovation in to remove the old. In case the kitchen counter top is in a -usable condition upon removal then of course go ahead and reuse it. For the plywood, it depends on what you're using and what you're using it for. That is something that onsite consultation will give more clarity on. You're right, there are a lot of western DIY videos that work with wooden furniture. but the thing is, they have solid wood furniture more often than not. When they're sanding away, its not the laminate but the top layer of wood polish and wood lacquer that they are removing. for the sole purpose of repainting the furniture. Often you'll find them using raw plywood without using laminates as well because unlike India, they have a good quality and grain top and bottom surfaces. As a result, polishing does the job for them. There are a lot of things they have which are not as durable as we make them in India as we look more to permanence in this country. (Side Note: a lot of their tiles are also peel and stick) Green living is a commendable thought, and there are a lot more things you can do to ensure a green lifestyle. Reuse is definitely one aspect! All the best and let us know how it turns out! And in case you need design help. please do think of us! Best! CUBSpaces Team +91-9923893771
