I'm going to go rogue and say black rod - on the trim. I would actually think about putting them about 3 or 4 inches higher than the trim. As long as you could mount them on that wall - is it plaster?

With long billowy sheers that would look great.

Personal preference though.

Hello from Lincoln, NE! You're probably pretty close to me - neighbor!

Ahh! Thanks! I'm sure I could have been more proactive and googled for an answer but I was content to sit and patiently wait.

I might have to try this one.
