It's not really an option. We have hideous linoleum floors, the laminate on the counter tops is peeling, the cabinets were so filthy when we bought the house, it makes us look like slobs. [/quote]

Well, this is obviously not true. Replacing the countertops and floors is not very disruptive and comparatively inexpensive. Dirty cabinets can be cleaned. [/quote]

NP. I disagree with this advice. New cabinets are life changing. Countertops are whatever (new ones will still function like countertops!), but cabinets are just completely different. We did 100% drawers and we can fit 2x as much. Everything is very neat now. Our 90s cabinets were completely falling apart inside and the drawers were awful. If you're going to do anything in your kitchen, get the cabinets. Don't put nice new counters on nasty cabinets.

OP, you just have to bite the bullet and do it. Luckily if you do it in warmer weather you can cook on the grill more nights. We completely did our kitchen ourselves (hung the cabinets, did the backsplash, laid the wood floors) and even that was only 4 months. My friends who had contractors do it spent like 6 weeks at most.[/quote]
