Itchin' for a kitchen remodel!

I'm itching for some updates in our kitchen. I'm thinking new countertops would make the world of difference! However, I'd also love some new cabinets. We have the original cabinets to the house, which I think is quaint. However, they're not practical and some of them "shed" when they're open and closed. Picture saw dust-type debris in my mixing bowls. I think our budget right now is formica countertops, but I've got caviar dreams!
