They look great to me. You're just not used to the new look.

I like them hung high like that;)

i don't like them this high, although i completely agree they are in style. i prefer them about half this difference between casing and height. the problem can be "solved" by a faux roman shade filling the space between rod and bottom of casing which will better give the impression that your window is really that tall.

but that's neither here nor there, if you like them this height thats all that matters.

I agree with nnigrt. They should be hung about half way between ceiling and window top. A thicker rod would look better also but as you never use the room that rod is fine

Halfway between crown and window trim, and no more wall space at the top than there is underneath the window, if that makes sense.

Now moxiemom, we would never veer off the poster's question')

I would have gone an inch higher.

Height is fine. I do like the ideas of a thicker rod, and faux Roman blind. Great advice.

And clean windows!! to help with the sale of a home.
