About I’d Buy That
I never stopped planning the sleepover.
As a kid, I could spend hours deciding who would come, what we would eat, where everyone would sleep, and exactly how much fun it was going to be. Now it is the October porch, a Friday movie night, the room waiting for a baby, or Christmas before sunrise.
Hello, I’m Carla
Tell me the part you have already started picturing.
I want to talk about it with the enthusiasm it deserves. The first view from the sidewalk. The pajamas. The cinnamon rolls. The lamp beside the rocker at two in the morning.
We can choose the ribbon, move the lamps, make the list, imagine the reveal, and see where the idea wants to go. Some plans earn a date. Some become favorite pages to return to.
The pleasure of the plan
Stay with the idea as long as you like.
- 01
Begin with the picture.
What do you see when you walk in, wake up, or turn on the porch light?
- 02
Follow the detail that changes everything.
Black velvet ribbon. Cinnamon from the kitchen. Movie tickets under the pillows. Start there and let the rest gather around it.
- 03
Give every favorite part some room.
The cups, the music, the porch light, and what everyone sees first each get their own place in the plan.
- 04
Make a map for whenever.
Measurements, timelines, sources, and beautifully specific lists are here when the picture wants to come off the page.
Now the fun part
