This contemporary kitchen design revolves around the timeless elegance of Calacatta marble, which takes center stage with its bold veining, offering a striking contrast to the crisp white cabinetry and sleek stainless steel appliances. The countertops, along with a book-end island, create a luxurious focal point, combining beauty and functionality.
White maple-painted Shaker-style cabinets maintain a clean and classic aesthetic, further elevated by stainless steel bar pulls for a modern touch. A marble backsplash complements the Calacatta surfaces, tying together the overall design with sophistication. The stainless steel hood and built-in refrigerator seamlessly integrate into the space, enhancing the sleek, unified appearance.
The kitchen's black wood floors ground the design with depth and drama, establishing a striking black-and-white theme that is both bold and elegant. The coffered ceiling and crystal chandelier add architectural interest and a touch of opulence. Practical features such as a microwave drawer, pantry cabinet, and gas range enhance functionality without sacrificing style.
Seating options, including barstools around the island and additional peninsula seating, make this kitchen as welcoming as it is stylish. Elements like the light-and-dark palette, small island, and contemporary details showcase the expertise of Kitchens of Diablo, achieving a space that balances warmth, sophistication, and practical design.

A DEANE client returned in 2022 for an update to their kitchen remodel project from 2006. This incredible transformation was driven by the desire to create a glamorous space for both cooking and entertaining. The frameless cabinetry with a mitered door and satin brass hardware is deliberately understated to highlight the marble. Dramatic and bold, the continuous, book-matched Panda White marble was used throughout the open footprint, including the fireplace surround, to give the space a cohesive feel. The custom, tapered hood, also covered in Panda White is a commanding centerpiece. The expansive space allowed for two waterfall-edge islands with mitered countertops - one for cooking with black-stained oak cabinets for storage and a prep sink, and the second to seat 6 for dining, which replaced the original informal eating area. A tray ceiling with wallpaper detailing elegantly frames both together.
No detail was overlooked in the design process. A coffee station with retractable doors and beverage drawers was situated to graciously welcome guests. A Wolf 60” range, walnut interiors, customized drawer inserts, unlacquered brass finishes and a Galley Workstation elevate this kitchen into a truly sophisticated space.

Children’s bedroom from Studio Thomas Project No. 022, designed to feel calm, timeless, and adaptable as the home grows with the family. Two wood platform beds with a continuous wood headboard create a sense of structure and balance within the room. Soft neutral bedding and simple textiles keep the palette quiet, allowing the natural warmth of the wood to stand out.
A shared nightstand between the beds provides a central point for lighting and books, while a series of small framed artworks adds a subtle, playful rhythm along the wall. Large windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the home’s connection to its setting. The overall composition reflects Studio Thomas’s approach to family spaces—thoughtfully designed rooms that feel comfortable, elevated, and built to last.

**Featured in Home & Design Magazine!
The inspiration for this unique project draws on the clients’ love of Paris and the city’s vibrant romanticism and mix of architectural styles. Our challenge was to elevate builder-grade finishes in a newly-constructed townhome to create an urban retreat with aged patina for this young couple. Soft industrial elements were layered over Old-World inspired details on nearly every surface for maximum impact. We added rustic wood ceilings and industrial beams to create drama, texture, and value throughout.
A Parisian-inspired glass/iron wall divider relieves the open concept floor plan, creating a more intimate seating space. Oversized pendants of steel, blown glass, horsehair and faux horn provide soft illumination while drawing the eye upward to architectural ceiling details. Custom midnight blue built-ins create a library that frames the entry and study. The deep and dramatic color palette of paint and wallpaper that adorns the walls is a vibrant mix of cobalt, citron, teal and smoky lavender. Light pours into the rooms from the large windows, reflects off the oversized acid-wash mirror, and forms dramatic shadows on the walls, setting the mood for this home.

This bright and inviting hallway beautifully demonstrates how to elevate transitional spaces using an organic modern design approach. The crisp white walls and light oak wood flooring create an airy, minimalist foundation, instantly drawing the eye to the vibrant impasto-style mountain landscape painting positioned perfectly at the end of the corridor. To balance the artwork's bold, energetic hues, a sleek, greige console table is styled with matte ceramic vases, dried pampas grass, and stacked neutral books, introducing subtle earthy textures to the space. Grounded by a textured woven runner rug that provides warmth and visual direction, this beautifully curated passageway proves that even the simplest areas of a home can become a captivating, gallery-like experience.
