Hi. I think you should put four blinds up, hung inside the windows, with curtains in the middle and on each side -- when the blinds are up you'll get a full view of your pretty windows. It's a pity to hide them. I'd keep the blinds quite simple so that you can use any fabric you like for the curtains.
I think I would keep the window treatment simple. Either a roman blind or a woven or a silhouette blind. Perhaps even shutters would be nice. I think having curtain panels so close to the door they would be hard to keep clean, with people going in and out and touching them etc.
