Hi Eric

You can define a "templates", "paragraphs" and "dialogs" folder inside your 
custom module folder and have your definitions there. For templates and 
paragraphs you can "extend" existing template and paragraph definitions, but I 
could not find the documentation for this. IMHO it should be described here:

http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/reference/templating.html#Templateandparagraphdefinition

To extend an existing template or paragraph definition you can simply add an 
attribute "extends" to the definition and the path to the definition it should 
extend, i.e.

extends = /modules/standard-templating-kit/templates/stkHome

You can also use relative paths. For template definitions don't forget to add 
them to the list of available templates in your site definition.

As for the theme, start a new theme and store the assets in folder for the 
theme.
