Clever use of the grill there.

The cobble I built for my DB sanctuary. Super happy with how well it fits the theme of the place!

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.

@ZOS_Nith It'd be wonderful if you guys considered doing a community spotlight of our community's creations.

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!

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.

Well, if you have the holiday cooking station which is currently for sale in the pack, I think that should work...

While I can't guarantee anything, I'd be happy to pass along the suggestion!

Here's my kitchen cooking fireplace and stove:

Jaraal · December 2019

Twin Arches firepit lounge.

faeeichenlaub · December 2019

Humble lil fireplace.

Jaraal · December 2019

Dwarven fireplace in Frostvault Chasm.

Sturmfaenger · December 2019

I don't know if this counts as a fireplace, because it has coals not wooden logs and such. But I liked the idea of how an argonian might change a nord fire place to resemble his native design so far away from home.

Delphinia · December 2019

I'm loving all of these. Especially how everyone is accessorizing around them. @Jaraal , love this seamless fireplace scene! I'm usually not a huge fan of the Dwemer style in particular, however you've created a really warm and cozy, yet regal and stately feel with the pieces! The Indoril tapestries are a nice touch and blend really well. @Sturmfaenger , I love the use of the Murkmire rug you used behind the fire pit! Great color pop and resembles a tiled back or other solid surface. @faeeichenlaub , the use of the stone slabs is really creative! I love the added touch of tilting one for the chimney! @xaraan , the burners on your stove are genius!

krisor67_ESO · December 2019

This is one of my favorite fireplaces i created

Chryseia · December 2019

These are fantastic! @Jaraal that dwemer fireplace is to die for - I love it! @faeeichenlaub it might be "humble" but it is also adorable and cozy! And @xaraan I love how clean your corner fireplace/oven looks! Also what did you use to create the dark metal surfaces of the stove?

Chryseia · December 2019

Here are some gorgeous fireplaces made by @BansheeMane, who plays on PC NA and requested that post these on their behalf as they do not have a forum account:

Strident Springs Fireplace:

Gardner House Fireplace:

Great cobbles Banshee! I love the use of the clockwork gazebo - I would never have thought to use it that way myself, and it looks amazing!

Chryseia · December 2019

Here are some screenshots of a stunning fireplace created by @Veranwe, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post these on their behalf:

I love how well this fireplace fits into the Dunmer building style of Amaya Lake Lodge! And the use of the bed to create the structural arches frames the fireplace perfectly! Great Cobble Vera!

They are the (green level) Orcish Table, Blocks turned upside down.

I had to use four in this set up b/c I wanted the stove to be skinny, but still wide enough for 4 burners and wanted the metal down the front of the brick as well. If you use two (sideways instead of long), the stove will be wide enough for 6 burners of that type or could do different burner styles and you save a couple building slots.

Zypheran · December 2019

Here is a quick video of five fireplace designs that I use and how to build them

Chryseia · December 2019

Amazing cobbles @Zypheran! I really love how structurally accurate and polished these are, all set into walls like real fireplaces would be! And I love that you provided "how to" videos as well. Your builds are always so inspiring.

Here is a really fun fireplace created by @Toadsticker18, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

I really like how the rough cut stairway decors lend an organic feel to this fireplace!

And, here is a classic, alinor-style fireplace created by @Stonesedge, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

I love how the plants are splashed around the fireplace so naturally and beautifully! Great cobble Stones!

Thank you @StabbityDoom for providing these screenshots!

Garish · December 2019

Very simple cooking fire I cobbled for my hobbit house:

HachikoChan · December 2019

Some of mine I made so far ^^

Chryseia · December 2019

Here is a fireplace I created recently for @JHartEllis 's/Spicy Guilds' fireplace housing contest. I kind of felt like JHeart was daring me to spend my entire item limit on a fireplace... so I did. *muahahaha*

(Note, while I used FX to change the walls and floors of this room, no FX were used on the fireplace or the fireplace decorations - those are all "real" décor).

Okay, technically, I only spent ~160 of my 200 items on the fireplace itself. The rest were for lighting, the stockings, and the Christmas village on the mantle. I totally wish I had an extra 40 items to do more garish, structural embellishments though! And I am super happy I finally got a chance to exorbitantly spend item limit on those hex-tiles.

Oh, and thank you @JHartEllis for creating/sponsoring/running the contest! I had a lot of fun!

Chryseia · December 2019

@Shirayuki_Sama Those are fantastic fireplace cobbles! I love both the variety and the fidelity you demonstrated to the surrounding building materials! My favorite is the completely adorable and perfect tree-like fireplace that you built in one of the wood elf homes! It is just so CUTE and the trailing ivy... *dies*

Here are some fireplaces created by @Whrr, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post these on their behalf:

Whrr, I absolutely love your idea of incorporating the dark brotherhood window as a tiled backdrop for your fireplace! (And, while not a fireplace, the snow as a building material thing in this picture is awesome). I also love how well the display case and the scavenged platings work together in the second fireplace to create a cohesive cobble! Great builds!

swankery · January 2020

Snowglobe fireplace overhaul.

MornaBaine · January 2020

Oh wow! So many beautiful fireplaces! The creativity on display here is just amazing. So... here's a few of mine.

These first 3 are just basically "bulking up" actual fireplaces.

StabbityDoom · January 2020

I spent absolutely way too long sorting over 3000 photos into categories so please enjoy the fruits of my labor

Leslax · January 2020

Here's mine from my enchanted snowglobe house!

Chryseia · January 2020

Great fireplace @swankery! I love the built in planters and the super shiny, almost liquid, look of the hearth! One might even say... its swanky... *apologizes for bad puns*

I love the progression of fireplaces you shared @MornaBaine! The variety is seriously impressive, and the curved alinor style one is uh-mazing! Something about decorative architectural curves really adds a lot of interest (for me)!

I love your Snow Globe fireplace dress-up @Leslax! It's amazing how adding framing to the hearth and decorative medallions can completely transform an existing fireplace. I also love how it is set in an inherently asymmetrical, though balanced, space.

Here is a beautiful, rough stone fireplace created by @Portiseven, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

I love how simple, classic, and perfectly proportioned this fireplace is!

Here are two fireplaces created by @Ladybug, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post these on their behalf:

I think the firelogs nestled in the hearth between the fireplace and the wall, in a little nook perfectly situated for holding them, is adorable - what a great detail!

ermenaa · January 2020

Hello all! I admire the creativity of all posted fireplaces because i share your decoration passion

HachikoChan · January 2020

Little fireplace in my Potentate' Retreat house ^^
