Baby Rhett's Custom Nursery

We've been hard at work on baby Rhett's nursery! I can officially say that we are finally finished - just days away from our little delivery making his appearance into the world! We have poured our heart and soul into creating an inspirational environment for this little guy and hope he grows to love his room as much as we do. We both wanted a room that wasn't too babyish or themey, but yet sophisticated, timeliness and full of unique touches only his room would have above all others.

Lots of credit goes to the loved ones that made such beautiful pieces for the room and the hard work of The Classy Crib for the bedding. Photos are below with brief descriptions about our choice on song lyrics, quotes and sentimental items throughout the room. We hope you love it!

I stumbled upon your nursery through Honey & Fitz. I fell in love immedately, then I discovered I could relate to all of the person touches throughout - my husband was a pitcher in college as well. Thank you for posting this. Your little man is one lucky baby!

I love your nursery. I am curious about your window treatments - I see that they are from RH Baby & Child, but how did you do the top portion? It looks as though there is a loop of fabric around the top pole. Is that all there is? Or is it a double rod? How was this fashioned, is it custom or from RH? And is it just looped around? Would love to know. Thanks!
