Community Cobble Showcase #1: Fireplaces!

Chryseia

Hey ESO Housing Community!

As many of you probably know, I'm still *relatively* new to the ESO community, as I started playing just over a year ago after the closure of another game. As it has now been a year (and 4 days) since that game closed, I wanted to start a tradition in ESO that I loved and missed from that prior community: community custom build décor showcase threads, where anyone can post pictures of individual décors that they "cobbled" and want to share.

As such, I will be creating a new Community Cobble Showcase thread every few weeks. Each thread will be numbered, and will have a different theme. I really, really hope that others will post some of their favorite cobbles in these threads, as I would love for these showcases to be true community creations that we can all be inspired by. ESO's housing community is amazing, creative, and so incredibly supportive of each other, and I hope that these threads will serve as a centralized, easily searchable method of showcasing and iterating on various cobbled designs.

For the first showcase theme, I chose my personal favorite type of décor to cobble: fireplaces! I think I have made... *counts fingers*… 17 fireplaces since I started housing about 9 months ago, so clearly I have a fireplace obsession! I'll be hitting other themes in future showcase threads, but if you have any suggestions please feel free to PM me.

So please post pictures of your amazing, or humble, cobbled fireplaces! I can't wait to see what you have created




Original Post, House-Keeping Stuffs:
(1) If you want to post a picture of someone else's cobbled design, please credit the builder in your post.
(2) No cobble is too "simple" or too "obvious" to be included. Sometimes the most brilliant, unique, and creative ideas come in the simplest package!
(3) Please continue to be the kind, creative, and supportive community you already are!

Step-by-step instructions regarding an easy way to post pictures (note there are tons of other methods if you prefer another way of doing it)

(1) Take a screenshot in game.
(2) Make a copy of the screenshot. If you used your computers basic "print screen" function to take the screenshot, you have already copied the screenshot and can proceed to step 3. If you used an in-game command to take the screenshot, use your file explorer to navigate to the following location to open and copy the picture: This PC -> Documents -> Elder Scrolls Online -> Live -> Screenshots.
(3) Post the screenshot into any Discord Channel by using the command "control+v" in the channel's message box. I typically use a personal Discord channel, which is free to create, but if you would prefer a housing-friendly discord to post into, feel free to send me a PM and I will shoot you an invite to my housing guild's discord channel (its open to anyone).
(4) In Discord, click on the picture you just posted; an expanded view of the image will open.
(5) Click "Open Original", which appears underneath and to the left of the expanded image you opened in step 4. This will open the image in your default internet browser.
(6) Select the entire URL of the webpage that opened in step 5. Copy the URL.
(7) In the ESO forum thread, "leave a reply" box, click the drop down arrow to the right of the tool that looks like a mountain and a sun in a portrait frame, labelled "attach image". Click on the "image URL" text box that opens, and paste the URL you copied in step 6.

Not really fireplaces but some ovens/stoves

Very nice @dcam86b14_ESO! What great ways to add onto the fireplace furnishings and turn them into functional stoves!

Chryseia

These fireplaces come from @phlooph, who plays on PC NA and requested that I share the screenshots, as they do not have a forum account:















I really love the use of celestial clocks as mantle clocks on the oversized fireplaces!

Delphinia

Nice idea for a place to share unique creations.
I have a few; nothing fancy, but I'm still fond of.

The first is an oven of sorts in my Linchal...



The next two are very old school...
going back to the first days of Homestead in my Strident.

I have never cobbled a fireplace, however, I do have a recommendation for those who don't want to spend the money on the flaming logs (sort of a cobble!) Place a brazier, usually the witches or orc will do nicely, under some logs you can get at almost any furnishing vendor. Voila! Cheap fireee!

anadandy

I think this is a fantastic idea! That you for starting this thread/idea and everyone for sharing so far.

I'm just going to bookmark this answer (and star the entire thread so I don't lose it). Love this idea and love this entire post.

Gonna take a pic of my cobbled "fireplace" at my Daedric murder shrine when I'm back in the game.

The only fireplace I have cobbled so far is the one in my unloved Bouldertree Refuge:
Improvised fireplace + smoker (+ Welwa scratching its belly)

spartaxoxo

A bread oven I made for my moon sugar hookah bar.





And this one isn't quite a custom fireplace, so much as it is a custom oven inside an existing fireplace. It's a spooky one made for Halloween, the den of a vampire cannibal who works for the dark brotherhood.

Evarelia

Autumn's gate:
It's the eaves over the main door combined with the ancient elsweyr tower


And this one in my Strident Springs:
Statue base circular and basic blocks!

Chryseia

OMG I love seeing all of these! @Delphinia I am especially in love with your third fireplace (totally gorgeous) and @Evarelia what a clever idea to use the structure of the house as part of the cobble!

Here are some screenshots of fireplaces created by @pieMag, who plays on PC NA:

Thank you for sharing your lovely creations Dani!

ZOS_Nith

These are absolutely amazing! We've gone ahead and pinned this to the top of the Housing section as we hope to see more! Thank you all for sharing your creations with the community.

Delphinia

Thank you kindly @Chryseia . Of course, you know how much I already adore all of your creations.
That third one is my first, or second fireplace I ever built. I actually initially used the Khajiit altar for the mantle, but switched it out months later for what you currently see.
I loved Strident, but always had wished there was a fireplace. Since there weren't any, I crafted my own lol
There are so many unique and creative crafted furnishings from this housing community; I'm always truly impressed and inspired.
Here is one I forgot.
Not a true "fireplace", but my forge. Very basic and sometimes I switch the Khajiit fire around and line it up vertically, instead of horizontally.

StabbityDoom

I apologize for the UI on in my screenshots, I do it to make sure I have the person's name in every shot and can give credit.

Thank you Kass for sharing these amazing fireplaces!

I use the Nord Torch, since it's pretty simple to craft.

I had cobbled together a fireplace to house a provisioning station, using the Statue Base, Square for the base, sides, mantle, and then Serien's Stand to create the chimney. It was rather large but I was able to make it work and access the station. I've since dismantled it in favor of the Hlaalu Chiminea (why oh why didn't they make this a provisioning station?), then moved the campfire outside. I did create a similar one in Frostvault - maybe I'll take a picture and share. It's pretty basic and not nearly as nice as any of the creations here.

Chryseia

@Jayne_Doe I want to encourage you to post your fireplace. I meant what I said in my original post: that sometimes the most genius ideas come in the "simplest" packages--that's what makes them genius! You never know what idea someone will be inspired by, and on a personal level, I love seeing the variety of builds people create!

Here are some fireplaces created in a Forsaken Stronghold build. The builder has informed me that they would like to remain anonymous, but has given me permission to share these fantastic cobbles!

Fabulous Fireplaces everyone!

Especially love the clever lighting. Two thumbs up

Chryseia

These are so great! @Snowfaeriewings I love the waterfall fireplace so much! Nothing quite says fantasy like water running over fire - so clever! @ixie great use of the pipes as chimneys! it really makes the fireplaces seem more realistic and immersive. @Gorak I love how you used the purple lighting to give color to the white stones! I also love how you seamlessly incorporated the luxury vendor shrine pieces - those are some of my favorite decors in the game!

I also have another fabulous fireplace cobble brought to you by @Raeleigh, who plays on PC NA and requested that I post this cobble on their behalf:


(Picture provided by @StabbityDoom)

Amazing job of seamlessly incorporating this beautiful, custom piece into the wall it is set into Raeleigh!

Here's a rustic Orcish fireplace in the hunters' hall area of my Forsaken Stronghold. It's not fancy, but it suits my Orc I think.

In most houses I just go with the Alinor or the Winter Festival fireplace due to the item limit (had some spare item slots in Forsaken Stronghold hence the custom build there). But seeing the creative solutions makes me wish I'd customize fireplaces more often, the builds are really inspiring!

I love when people work with base vendor items, especially when it fits the house's theme. I love that you used the rock slabs you can get from the vendors, they have the perfect look for orcs.

Here is another fabulous fireplace cobble, created by @AliToups, who plays on PC NA:



Love the pass-through nature of this fireplace! And Ali even set up multiple brightness "settings" for the fire!

Yeah, that works really well in the oven at the Hew's Bane Palace.

Would have liked it better if there was some way you could cook in it, but still.
