Community Cobble Showcase #1: Fireplaces!

Chryseia · January 2020

@ermenaa I am so happy to hear that my mail prompted you to share your beautiful creations! I was only aware of the first fireplace when I sent the mail, and holy crap I am so happy you shared the others! That fireplace made of tiled altars is amazing! Absolutely amazing cobbles!

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

I love how well the limestone works to create fireplace masonry! And that outdoor fireplace is perfectly eerie and creepy!

Here is a fireplace created by @TimeSquidAstern, who plays primarily on PC EU and who requested that I post this on their behalf:

I love the modern, family-style look to this fireplace, and the blue geometric wallpaper really makes those elsweyr colors sing! Great Cobble TimeSquidAstern!

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

I adore the creative use of the hlaalu canopy bed in this fireplace! It really makes the fireplace stand out and draw attention to itself as a feature. Amazing build!

Here is an intriguing take on a traditional fireplace created by @HGranger, who plays primarily on PC NA and who requested that I post this on their behalf:

I never would have thought to create a giant yule log as an outdoor fireplace, but I absolutely LOVE that you did! And its a fantastic yule log to boot! The green lighting and glowing orange flowers accent this cobble perfectly.

Here is a classic fireplace design created by @Rochambeau1789, who plays primarily on PC NA and who requested that I post this on their behalf:

I love your use of the murkmire berry strands on this fireplace! This cobble perfectly captures the sleek and clean lines of a classic fireplace. Great cobble Roch!

Here is a fireplace created by @BeansprOut or "Beanie" who plays primarily on PC EU:

What a clever way to nestle a cobble in this tiny space! I love the under the staircase look here, and the colors and structure fit with Snugpod beautifully! So cozy

Here are some fantastic fireplaces created by @MaggieMae9393, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post these on their behalf:

I love the combination of clockwork, elsweyr and alinor building materials - it looks amazing! (And Spanish tile FX for kitchens has always been one of my faves

). Great cobbles Maggie!

Fireplace in my coral house

Vulsahdaal · January 2020

Not decorated yet, I finally just completed construction on my magcro Vulindil's home. But this is his fireplace, another simple throw-together build.

*** Update with decorated final version ***

Hauteecole_Rider16 · January 2020

Just spent a few moments browsing through some of the most amazing fireplaces I've ever seen! All are wonderful each in their own way.

I have no cobbled fireplaces to offer, but I do have a couple of forges - would those count?

Chryseia · January 2020

@Vulsahdaal Brilliant idea to use the sarcophaguses like that! That fireplace is ornate and classy! Awesome cobble!

@ixie It's amazing that you were able to sculpt the coral pieces into the shape of a fireplace - its perfect for your space! Amazing job!

@Hauteecole_Rider16 I sent you a forum mail, but TLDR feel free to post any cobble that you feel sufficiently meets the theme - I would love to see what you have created. And I agree that the cobbles this community has created and shared are astoundingly creative and inspiring

Here is an beautiful fireplace created by @Sqwerl99, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

I LOVE the drama in this cobble! The pointed arch and wings make such a statement, and yet still maintain a clean, classic modern vibe. fantastic cobble Sqwerl!

Chryseia · February 2020

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

Wonderful cobbles Misarere! I love your double oven, and the clockwork oven is really unique!

katanagirl1 · February 2020

These are simply amazing! I cannot believe the different varieties of creativity on display here.

I hope this thread is stickied, I would like to come back and view these again for hope of an idea of something to do myself.

spartaxoxo · February 2020

Perhaps you can reserve a post in your next cobble thread with links to all the previous cobble threads.

Tigerseye · February 2020

Not a cobble, as such (I don't really do many large cobbles, mainly due to crippling slot anxiety!), as I have only added a few Murkmire Hearth Shrines to it.

So, hesitated to add it, here...

However, just thought it might be helpful to show how the Murkmire Kiln, Ancient Stone works in the big, windowless, octagonal hut on Topal Island.

Just in case anyone was hesitating to get/furnish Topal, due to not knowing how on Aurbis to make this hut, especially, seem welcoming/usable, without using a ton of slots.

The Kiln also fits the Winter Festival Hearthfire provisioning station really well.

Although, you do have to jump up to it, unless you sink the kiln into the floor - which you can do successfully, in this hut, if you prefer.

Although, I quite liked the zig-zag motif and the imposing height here, personally, so I left it as it was:

Chryseia · February 2020

Hey @spartaxoxo and @katanagirl1! I actually have been linking to all of the community cobble showcase threads since I started the first one. They are all listed and linked to in the spoiler titled "Links to all Community Cobble Showcases:" at the bottom of the OP of every Community Cobble Showcase thread.

Additionally, I link them all in my signature as well, so you can always find them under any forum post I have written! They are under the spoiler titled "Community Cobble Showcases:" in my signature.

The only exception is Community Cobble Showcase #4, Bathroom Fixtures and Appliances, which I haven't added to the lists yet. I was out of town on business when I posted it and just got back into town recently; I'm still catching up! I will add it though - it's on my list.

Hope that helps!

katanagirl1 · February 2020

@Chryseia I actually meant stickied at the top of the forums here.

Looks like this particular one is not. Someone please add if they can.

EDIT:
This Murkmire Kiln, Ancient Stone also makes a fine forge as well. I have a snapshot somewhere, I’ll see if I can find it.

spartaxoxo · February 2020

Ah I actually only checked the latest one when I saw this got unstickied. You're really on top of things. Cool.

HachikoChan · February 2020

I got some more ^^

Chryseia · February 2020

@Shirayuki_Sama love these! From the incorporated short mantle clock and wood trim to the cute little details like using the traps as cooking rings on the stove... brilliant work!

Here are some cozy (and brotherhood-y!) fireplaces created by @Wynsdaymourning, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post these on their behalf:

I love the creative use of lighting in these spaces to create specific types of ambiance in your cobbles, which is then reinforced with decor and texture choices to build a space! Amazing cobbles Wynsday!

Chryseia · February 2020

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

(Picture provided by @StabbityDoom)

This second one is especially fun, because Tearna decorates it seasonally! Here is the winter version:

And here is the spring version:

(Both pictures provided by Tearna)

What a cool idea to decorate the mantles seasonally! And the fireplace under the decorations is a great cobble/base as well. I also love the idea of the half-arch for the stovetop! I feel like this is very adaptable design that could be worked into some of those crazy, irregular nooks that we all love (and love to hate). Very clever cobbles Tearna!

Chryseia · February 2020

Here is a beautiful and polished fireplace created by @Fufuns, who plays primarily on PC EU and gave me permission to post this on their behalf:

(Picture provided by @StabbityDoom)

The way you incorporated the inlaid trellis work and table legs as filigree is genius! Amazing cobble Fufuns!

Tigerseye · February 2020

Wow, some stunning additions, here...

Really impressive.

Faevara · February 2020

I've built a very small and simple oven. It uses six pieces total. This is my Captain Margaux's Place. You're welcome to visit anytime! My userid is @Faevara

Chryseia · February 2020

Amazing Oven and smoker Faevara! I love the rustic modern details, and the realism you achieved with the stove while using only six items is really impressive!

Here is a stunning ancient Elsweyr-style fireplace created by @Whrr, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

(Picture provided by @StabbityDoom)

I am such a sucker for arched fireplaces, and this one is stately and gorgeous - great layering of textures Whrr!

Here is a sophisticated, Elsweyr-chic fireplace created by @Ladybug, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

(Picture provided by StabbityDoom)

I love your incorporation of the altar to create that extra stone detail in the fireplace - it really draws focus to the fireplace as a feature. Beautiful cobble Ladybug!

Chryseia · March 2020

Here is a tropical paradise of an outdoor fire pit created by @Punkichu, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

(Picture provided by StabbityDoom)

Punkichu told me that this fire pit was a complete and total accident that fell into place while they were moving things around, and oh my god am I happy that it did! This fire pit is amazing! I adore the incorporation of the elsweyr painted rocks - they fit a tropical island look perfectly! Brilliant cobble Punkichu!

StabbityDoom · March 2020

Punkichu's entire home was phenomenal. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Here are some incredibly creative fireplaces created by @Kittyka0s, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post these on their behalf:

(Pictures provided by Kittyka0s)

I absolutely love the dramatic scaling of the first fireplace, and the use of the kitty-head sconce to create a fire source in the second. And the mixed textures work to frame it perfectly! Excellent cobbles Kitty!

Tezzaa · March 2020

I did this a while ago in my Daggerfall for the crafting area.

The second one is in the same property but in the upstairs Gallery area.

Sylvermynx · April 2020

Thank you so much for this @Chryseia! I need to do something about a fireplace in Samarra - eh, Thieves Oasis - (for the bathing room). So many good ideas in this thread. And in the others! The creativity in the Housing community is outstanding, and there's so much good will and sharing.

Thanks to everyone in this community!

Chryseia · April 2020

@Tezzaa I love the two tiered crafting fireplace! It's practical and cute!
@Feendish LOL RE the bookcases

. In all seriousness though, great cobbles! Your scaling is impressive, and the pieces are super polished!

Here is a forge cobble created by @Zells and @Gadolyah in a cooperative build. Zells took point on the design of this cobble, and Gad has requested that I post it on their behalf:

I adore the angled hood on this forge and the way the base home's stone material ties the dark gray of the base to the bright white of the hood. Great work!

SaSa2112 · April 2020

Thanks @Chryseia for contacting me about this forum thread! And thanks to @StabbityDoom for streaming a few of my houses.

My Wraithhome (Renamed Flower of Love, and has a character backstory to go with it) is probably the best thing I've ever made. I'm on the NA server and I welcome visitors!

(I did want to provide a full shot of the thing!)

Thanks for the cool thread!
