Not only for curtain rods per se, but for any interior window covering in their up position. It keeps the viewable window area unobstructed in height, which is important here because I'm "framing" a lot of sky-view towards the bay. It's simply a 4x header beam installed in a 2x6 stud wall. The difference in thickness between the 4x and 6x dimension is the recess depth, nominally two inches. I have the vertical dimension at six inches, which should be plenty for most window coverings.
The sheetrock return style (instead of case moulding) was a cheap alternative in cost of materials, but took a lot more work to finish. It goes with the flush design.
