    flooring throughout
    kitchen/tiling

    I've put kitchen last because it's nice to put the kitchen over the new flooring, means you get kickplates etc nice and neat if you can place it over the new floor and don't end up with beading round the kitchen or kickplates the don't fit properly. You'd need to rip out at least the old kickplates when you lay the floor to get it under existing units.
