Apartment.. newish. Built in the early 2000s.

ahhhh, annoying. My dad keep saying that every single builder should automatically put a nice solid header above every window in a house because everyone hangs there anyway. lol, I tend to agree. Funny he brings this up a lot. They've built 3 homes over the years. I laugh that he still mentions it b/c they've lived in their current one about 13 years or so?

Are you using a drill?

I've never searched for studs while hanging curtains. I always go 12-15" up and 12" out and I'm pretty sure there aren't any studs in those areas. Just use screw anchors. Like these.

A foot above the window?? Thats alot. I was going about 4 1/2. Maybe 6 would work better.
