Hi all. We are about 3-5 yrs away from a first floor Reno, which will include a family room addition open to our current kitchen (and kitchen completely remodeled). We've been in our home for 5 years. Our current kitchen has really ugly (but great condition) tile floors. I'm planning a mini facelift to our kitchen that will make it look prettier while we save for our big Reno. I'm really stumped with what to do for the floor to give it an inexpensive mini facelift. I've done a quick measure and with the additional 10% for error, I'm looking at 260 sq ft of floor space. I'd like to keep the floor budget under $2k. I've considered painting over the tile with either chalk paint and sealing it OR using a porch and floor paint (I've read many tutorials for this). I've also considered tiling over it with brick ceramic or wood ceramic tile (although this will make the floor noticeably higher when stepping into adjacent rooms, and I'd have to have this professionally done-I can paint anything but tiling is not in my skill set). Lastly, I've considered putting a floating floor (cork? Vinyl?) over the existing tile...Oh, also even considered peel and stick vinyl planks, but I'm worried about the planks actually adhering to the tile. I've read tutorials of it being done, but there's definitely mixed reviews.

Any recommendations on an inexpensive flooring upgrade? I've included a picture of our existing tile. I will be repainting the cabinets a creamy white and also redoing (DIY) the countertops. Thanks for any floor suggestions you might have!!
