As I am an "athletic sleeper".. about the 17th time I kicked the blinds last Sunday night.. we started thinking about at least putting curtains in the "bedroom"..

We removed ours and put up curtains pretty quickly.  Couldn't stand hitting and kicking them every night.  And the curtains look so much nicer too.  I made these for our Pod one weekend for our windows.

I got tension rods (spring-loaded curtain rods) to hang them, they stay up by friction on the inside of the "box" above the window.  Not sure what its real name is.

We're also just using small tension curtain rods to go on the inside of the window boxes.  Works and holds very well!
