Stone Creations: Creating Fireplaces & Signature Architectural Elements, from natural, quarried Limestone, in the Bay Area since 1987

Husband and wife team, Linda and Bernard Renaud, came from France to California in 1985, intending to stay for two years. They fell in love with the energy and possibilities they encountered in the San Francisco Bay Area and established Stone Creations in 1987.

Stone Creations’ core business is sourcing and importing containers of high-grade monolithic limestone from French quarries and crafting it into Custom Fireplaces, Door Surrounds, Kitchen Hoods, Window Moldings and Sills, Keystones, Arches, Columns, Fountains, etc.

At Stone Creations we cut authentic, natural limestone from blocks and slabs and then shape and carve it to order. Our combined use of traditional and modern techniques produces hand-finished, custom stone products.

Producing Contemporary, Traditional and Transitional Designs to meet the Customer’s requirements.

Limestone is a natural, quarried product, available in a range of colors and textures. Some stones include unique striations and fossil-inclusions.  Genuine, natural Limestone is distinctive in bringing a gentle, organic beauty and understated, inherent strength to Fireplace Mantels or other Architectural Elements.

Our inventory includes slabs in a variety of thicknesses allowing us to customize the look to fit your home and harmonize with your Design Story.

We are extremely proud of our materials, craftsmanship and the quality of our stonework.

Linda, originally from Britain, spent 5 years in France, living and working with Bernard and becoming fluent in French, prior to moving to the US together. Initially translating back and forth for Bernard and clients, Linda moved to the forefront of communication with Customers, Architects and Designers.

Stone Creations brings a unique blend of experience in Old World Skills and New World Precision Fabrication to the table.

We also have access to wonderful, trusted sources from around the World, and our insight and knowledge of materials are an integral part of bringing our customers’ visions to life.-Our French terracotta floor tiles, or Parefeuilles, are as varied in hue as the reclaimed Roof Tiles. Imported from the same regions of Southern France, they were hand made by artisans well over a century ago. Both bring the charm and warm Mediterranean tones of historical buildings of Provence and Italy.

Linda: “I sometimes wonder what the artisan who hand-shaped the clay so long ago, for our reclaimed roof-tiles, would think if he knew the Journey they would one day embark upon and how cherished they would be on another continent”

We can request photos and special color batches to fulfill specific customer preferences. Orders can be shipped directly to customer projects.
