Hi pinktulip, i see no one had replied ur post so probably jus my 2cents worth of comment. to renovate ur kitchen is possible .. many home owners had done it before but probably u have to qns urself if u are to do without the kitchen for approx 1mth. those works u mention are all the basic one would likely to do for their aged kitchen. Prob do drop me a pm if u have more queries regarding kitchen reno. As my parents place jus had their kitchen renovated.
