This option may be a little more costly than most of the other tips talked about here but, you will get a large bang for your buck. Because your kitchen table and chairs are such a large part of your kitchen, you will have a different look instantly except for the time and money required for the shopping.
Paint your countertop. Yes, it can be done. It may be that your countertop is in great condition but is just an outdated colour or pattern. So instead of replacing the complete countertop, paint it. With a special primer, you can paint it. It can even be painted with a decorative faux finish such as faux marble or faux stone, for a very custom look.
Faux tile your backsplash. This may take a bit more time and skill but, is certainly less costly than having your backsplash completely tiled with ceramic, porcelain, marble or tumbled stone tiles. I have painted faux finished backsplashes for less than $10.00 - you can't beat that cost!
