It really depends on what you want it to do. if you are a power user or use your computer for work, I'd go with a PC. If it is just for home use, Mac.

I'd go with the brown. It's more neutral which means the "design life" will be longer (hey the chair IS expensive, might as well enjoy it for longer) Also, you will be sitting in the chair, so I don't think you would really notice the color that much. Plus if you decide that you want more punch, you can add something else.

What morfy said!

If you remove the wall, add a door. That will add enough value to offset the cost of the renovation.

It looks like you may need tuck-pointing soon anyways. Powerwash/blast off the red paint, and paint the trim a gentle off white

No.

I doubt they can paint if this is a townhouse! I'd focus on landscaping and hardscaping! Make a path to the front door from the street, and put a bunch of flowers and bushes all around the front.

The coats are probably moldy.

Room and Board.

Paint the cabinets, and the hardware. Get new self closing hinges and more modern door pulls. You can also demo the tiles and replace them with Formica or something. It's really not that hard. I'd go with dark gray paint, and stainless Formica or even a butcher block. Maybe get some cheap subway tiles and use them as a backslash. The floor is good enough for now, even though you could replace that in a another phase.
