I'm always looking for a creative way to make my windows look different than the standard pole and drape. I like that look but just don't want it in every room. In this case I had a window seat in my game room that needed some warming up. It has a small header above the drapes to work with. Looking for inexpensive options, I realized cabinet knobs are cheap (or at least some are). All 15 of these were less than $10 at a local building supply surplus store we have. Very easy to install.
You do need to also buy those double sided screws that are a screw on one end and a bolt on the other (They are called hanger bolts). Just take the cabinet knob over to the hardware section to get the right size double sided screw for your knob. They sell them individually or in packs (just get the best priced one : ) This is what they look like.
You screw the bolt end into the knob, then the screw end into the wall. Took maybe 10 minutes to hang these (might take a little longer if you run into metal or difficult studs and need a drill). Hope this gives you some ideas of drapery hanging alternatives : )
