My brain is just bouncing around right now. Should we do flooring first so that we no longer have to deal with the lovely carpet? What about the window install? It would be nice to have a decent front window for winter but it’s going to be very expensive. But also I want the stinky carpet out so I can use the office and the subfloor isn’t nice enough to just yank it up without a replacement. I’m at a stalemate with renovations now and I hate it.

You can always cover the window in plastic and then put a big blackout curtain in front of it to keep the the heat in, gross flooring seems more important for peace of mind.

As I recall, paint is bad for brick because it's a material that's intended to be permeable to moisture, and if you paint one side of it it's basically impossible for moisture to move through the brick. If you want to color it, some form of limewash is definitely the move.
