The current kitchen is very obviously the original dining room and it makes so much more sense to go back to that. See, the problem with 'something cheaper' for countertops is that the cheapest is over $600 (that would be a plastic laminate countertop). $600 seems like a lot of money to waste in a couple of years!

Very smart to do another room...that way you still have your old kitchen while the work is going on. I love the cabinet doors!!! Very nice!! If I were you and couldn't afford the counter tops yet, I would just do something cheaper and redo them later. Plywood is not a good option for three reasons....1 it isn't a finished surface so water will damage it, especially since it is a kitchen. 2 you really can't work on plywood...dangerous because of the slivers of wood that could end up in your food. 3 cleaning it is going to be a PAIN!!!!!! Maybe you could do a simple cheap tile, or even a simple cheap laminate surface until you can replace it later. YAY!!!!!!!

Will you get professionals to do most of it or do some of it yourself too? The kitchen really is the most important room in the home, I could sleep in my new kitchen if I could its so darn pretty LOL Sounds good, big work though!
