Could you throw a little light on the subject?

Turns out that my shoot on the fifteenth is going to be at my house because it's the best I could do. The room I'm shooting in is good because it's big but the problem is with the location of the windows. They are directly behind where the actors are going to sit. I can't change the furniture setting because of background issues. So i'm planning on pulling the blinds but there's still ample light coming from behind them. What's the best way to compensate for this? I don't want things to get blown out. Should I put blankets up under the blinds or something? Or should I blast the actors with artificial light? Oh, and I can't shoot at night. Has to be the daytime.
 
Or possibly an ND CTO mixture (they make gels that incorporate both) unless you have some pretty big lights that will still have punch with CTB gels on them.
 
Should I go the .3, .6, or .9? The darker the better?

P.S. That' horse freaks me out.
