I think I'd splurge a little and get nice matching faux wood blinds for all windows on the front side of the house.

Windows and Door--furnish and install one new replacement window--existing door will remain8.Paint--furnish and paint walls and ceiling with one coat of primer andtwo coats of eggshell wall paint--furnish and paint all wood work with 2 coats of semi-gloss trim paint9.
