         5 . The system of  claim 3  wherein the apertures are configured to receive nails or screws. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the rear of the back plate comprises a channel formed with a pair of opposing side rails, an upper stop and a lower opening. 
     
     
         7 . A system comprising:
 a bracket, the bracket comprising a back plate, an arm and a curtain rod cradle; and   a fastening prong, fastening prong comprising a flat portion linked to a penetration portion, a rear of the back plate configured to slidably receive the flat portion.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the curtain rod cradle is configured to receive a curtain rod. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the penetration portion comprises a U-shaped pair of wall prongs. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9  wherein the U-shaped pair of wall prongs are oriented 45 degrees with respect to the flat portion. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9  wherein each of the U-shaped pair of wall prongs includes a pointed tip. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the rear of the back plate comprises:
 a channel;
