In this episode of The WB Download, host Jeff Wieland is joined by Krista Heinrich and Leah Eggert from California Closets to dive into the art and strategy behind high-functioning, beautifully designed storage solutions. Krista and Leah share how their team collaborates closely with builders like Wieland Builders to create customized, high-quality closet systems that enhance daily living.
They walk Jeff through the full California Closets process—from the initial client consultation and space assessment to 3D design renderings and final installation. The episode highlights how their design approach is rooted in understanding each client’s lifestyle, habits, and needs, with a focus on maximizing every square inch. They discuss the growing demand for specialty storage, integrated lighting, hidden hampers, valet rods, jewelry inserts, and even appliance-ready cabinetry that supports modern living.
Krista and Leah emphasize the importance of listening and transparency during the design process and how good communication leads to smarter solutions and happier clients. They also share how trends have shifted over the years, with closets evolving from simple storage areas to luxury, boutique-style spaces that add value to the home.
This episode is a thoughtful blend of design, collaboration, and culture, offering practical insights for homeowners and industry pros alike—plus a few laughs along the way.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
