When I interviewed a former Ms. Alabama a while back about her dream closet, I thought the idea of a retreat inside a home closet was kind of strange. Now that I’ve spent the better part of five months in my home with three people whom I love dearly and also need a break from sometimes, it makes so. much. sense.
