Sure! They are these, or something similar. Ceiling curtain rod brackets. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Ceiling-Mount-Bracket-Set-Black/dp/B01MRT552R/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547180489&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=ceiling+curtain+rod+brackets&psc=1
>I used JB Weld to adhere it to the wall, then surrounded the entire end of the rod that was against the wall with water resistant Locktite. Then I fashioned 2 "braces" out of duct tape to hold it in place for the 24hr curing process.
...you just voided your security deposit. This is not how you install a shower curtain rod! This is not what either JB Weld OR locktite is for!
If the adjustable ones wouldn't "hold" you should've installed some ceiling mounted curtain hangers and put a rod of the appropriate size through that.
hmmmm. they do make ceiling-mount brackets for curtain rods:

i'm having trouble envisioning how you could get more than one layer with something like this, without it looking a little clunky...but hopefully someone here will have better ideas!
congrats on your new place!!
and fwiw--400 sq ft can feel totally spacious and comfortable if you arrange it according to your actual needs rather than what you think every place "should" have. :-))
Ceiling curtain rod? You can always patch the holes later.
You could some of these and hang curtains between the living room and kitchen
you probably wanna just google -- first ad in a search for "ceiling hanger" is https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Ceiling-Mount-Bracket-Set-Black/dp/B01MRT552R
you could also do a wire system like https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/dignitet-curtain-wire-stainless-steel-60075295/ from wall to wall across the room -- just make sure to screw into the studs or rafters, whatever you do.
Having the curtain across the entire wall might help disguise that the window is off centered (or make it less glaring, anyway). If you want to do that, these shower/closet pole brackets on either side wall would do the job.
Honestly doesn't bother me-- it's a hallway, not your main living space. If you just want the curtains over the window, then just do one of those above brackets, and for the right side of the window could have a regular curtain rod hanger.
If you want to do floor-to-ceiling, a few of these overhead rod hangers would work for you
That's a wide space to do a tensioner rod, you'll spend more $ than you need to, since the above solutions are so cheap. Also they can be annoyingly easy to pull down / get crooked, like when you're pulling on the curtains to open that window.
Ceiling mounts will also work. Like these on Amazon.
