But some people have an amazing talent at turning fantasy into reality.
The husband and wife team at Sixx design are a prime example. Parents of seven children (!), Courtney and Bob Novogratz create the most innovative homes throughout New York. You can check out in their new book Downtown Chic - it captures their latest work. And when the Novogratz clan needs a break they can jet to this stunning retreat in Brazil.
Getting away from reality is really what my blog is all about. But I'd settle for a trip to Brazil!
