A huge shout-out to Ashley of Paisley Ann Designs for her fabulous City Design Guide on Design*Sponge. I can’t tell you how excited I was to see our great city make the list. I recently used the Santa Fe Design Guide and had a blast exploring the list of things to see, eat, and do. Be sure to read through the comments on the post as many locals have added their favorite venues, too.

I was lucky enough to meet Ashley last summer at the West Street Market here in Reno. I bought one of her beautiful bird mobiles for my boys’ room. She is as amazing in person as she is on her blog. And, she totally hit my soft spot by loving up my boys.

Congrats Reno on making the Design Guide and many thanks to Ashley and d*s for putting us on the design map!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May yours be full of little red headed boys and tall pints of Guinness.
