Abstract: A pair of mounting brackets are disclosed which are readily removably but securely attach to any window for purposes of mounting a variety of window treatments in an aesthetic manner. The mounting brackets are attached to the window by a plurality of suction cups. Each bracket is comprised of a base plate and an elongated mounting element oriented substantially perpendicular to the base plate. The mounting element is adapted to receive one of a shade and a curtain rod substantially above the window and outside of the periphery of the window. When in a closed position the window treatment blocks any significant light or air draft from being transmitted from the exterior of the building to the interior of the building. A connecting portion having a configuration which conforms to the window frame is provided between the base plate and the mounting element.
