I would start with the backsplash, look for press and stick tile on sale or create your own backsplash with a paint technique. Another inexpensive idea is to purchase pre-cut cedar shims, glue them on in a random pattern, stain them with a 'tea' of steel wool soaked in vinegar (to get an aged, rustic look) and seal with a matte sealant.
Rustoleum and Gianni both offer countertop restoration kits
I used Rust-Oleum countertop paint. It came out great.
Thank you
For the counter I would suggest Gianni. I used the white diamond and it transformed my whole kitchen. For the backsplash, find a good contact paper shelf liner. It will stick to the walls and is waterproof. Makes cleaning splashes a breeze and is super cheap!
