Thanks everyone for the great advice! We have 10' ceilings, so I'm not worried about making it feel claustrophobic in the room. I'd never even thought of using a white rod, but now that some people have mentioned it, it makes perfect sense! If I decide to keep the rod in its current location, I will definitely switch it out. But I am also really liking the idea of mounting the rod wide and just above the window. It's true, I won't need that natural light when the curtains are drawn because it will be dark, and I can still show off the pretty molding and transom during the day. And if I do decide to go that route, I suppose filling a couple of holes is a small price to pay for a good looking room! Thanks again!

gnomatic, I love your solution, but I am not quite sure how the brackets snap right on to the blinds. Can you be more specific? Does the Umbra website (www.umbra.com) have the rod/bracket that you used?
