Curtains!

I had bought a bunch of curtains from Meijer that were on clearance very close to us moving all into the house. I ordered some curtain rods from Khol's. They are less than impressive to say the least. I would NOT recommend them. I didn't return them only because I got them so cheap, with free shipping, and do not want to spend any more time to find good ones right now.

So any way, I've had them for a bit now and have bugged Tom about getting them put up nearly every day. Pretty sure he wants to kill me.

He got them up! Who knew that it could be so challenging though!?

Like... how far to the left and right of the window trim? 
How far above the window trim vs how far down from the ceiling? 
Or - put them right in the trim? 

Let's just say there a few too many holes in my walls following this "experiment" and I know for sure Tom has plotted my torture. They still aren't how I would like them- they aren't all uniform (some rooms are higher than others) and I'm still not sure about the measurements. But we finally just put them up and will stay that way until we both have enough energy to try this again. We have privacy and efficiency!

So, I'm begging - If you have some insight, PLEASE COMMENT!
