Kitchen Spruce Up

So I have the home improvement bug; sadly I have no home improvement budget.  My husband keeps telling me to save money and prioritize my list so that he can help me accomplish what I want to do.  He's right of course, but I want to do things now, now, now!!  I have started a coffee can account for new tile floors.  This is really a must do because my builder grade vinyl has been pretty well defeated by my two kids and one beagle puppy.  Tracy will do all the work himself and I'm planning on doing 12x12 neutral beige.  Pretty standard stuff.  Less standard is the counter top makeover I'm considering.  Rustoleum has a counter top refinishing product that looks like it would change the look and feel of the surface without removing or replacing the counter tops.  I'm intrigued and will keep you posted.  I also want new knobs and pulls.  And a backsplash.

What I'm really curious about is why.  Why?  Why do I feel this need to upgrade?  I am blessed to have all I need to prepare, store and serve food to my family.  God is faithful to provide every single day.  I have electricity, running hot and cold water, air conditioning and refrigeration.  Am I seriously drooling over granite in a home improvement catalog?  You know I am.  In a matter of a few weeks I will be beginning a Bible study based on the book Radical led by my friend Dani.  The Lord knows I need that, too.  And He is faithful to provide.  And mighty to save.  Thank goodness!!
