OT: Kitchen Makeover

Got the vinyl siding done and the tuckpointing is next week. I'm planning on finally doing 'something' with the kitchen after the first of the year. I can swing the new appliances that I want, and my brother is doing the hardwood floors in the kitchen, dining room, foyer and hallways (not until April... after taxes). All I have to do is pay for materials. I had a guy here yesterday that is supposedly a kitchen wizard. His suggestion was to reface the cabinets (replace the cabinet doors and redo the current cabinets with formica). I do want some construction done and I'm still not sure about the venting over the stove. The vent space is really large and I'm not sure I can find one of those overhead microwaves that vent, to fit the space without gaps.

Anyone had refacing done? If so, do you like it and was it really cheaper than a complete redo?

OB FOOD:

Cubed up some chicken last night. Threw it in a hot wok with a bit of sesame oil and browned it. I put in some carrot, green onion, broccoli, garlic, onion and red bell pepper.

I served it over white rice (long grain, not instant) which I flavored with a hint of lemon grbutt. I had some fat-sugar free ice cream for dessert.
