Curtain Saddle Assembly

Abstract

A curtain saddle assembly for mounting a curtain rod to an existing window blind includes a pair of brackets. Each of the brackets engages a window blind that is mounted in a window. A support is removably coupled to the brackets when the brackets are positioned on the window blind. The support has a saddle integrated therein. A curtain rod is positionable in the saddle. In this way the curtain rod can be mounted to the existing window blind.
