    What is the best way to attach curtain rods to a plaster wall?
    I am not sure if this wall is lathe and plaster or if it is plaster over brick. It is an old building (circa 1920) so it could be anything.

    If it is wood lathe, use hollow wall anchors, toggle bolts or plastic anchors. If the walls are brick, use lead anchors.
