Stone Fireplaces Pictures...
Real Standouts!

As the heading implies, the stone fireplaces pictures featured here truly ARE STANDOUTS!   Far from the typical stone surround, each design has
a "personality" and "mood" all its own!

       Design above by Miller Architects

For example,  the charm and ambiance permeating the stone fireplace at right reflect a look and feel that  is  skillfully and carefully  coordinated  --  despite the rustic  and  casual  nature  of  the overall design.     Similarly,  the  stone hearth pictured below, left,  reflects a design that is well-planned  and  care-
fully executed to achieve the  warmth and cozy comfort it exudes.    A  "con-
temporary  twist"  on  the   Craftsman fireplace pictured below, right, lends a unique and innovative flair to  this  ex-
quisitely crafted, one of a kind design.

The two stone fireplaces pictures that follow are crafted primarily from riv-
er stones and beach pebbles.     Note  how  the  widely  varying sizes and shapes, as well as the random placement of the stones in the example pic-
tured below,  left,  lend a relaxed and casual -- albeit distinctive -- look to this fireplace design.    The example pictured below,  right,  is crafted from similarly sized stones arranged in a more symmetrical pattern.    For  added visual interest, the longer wedge-shaped stones forming the  curved  parts of the firebox arch, called voussoirs, give it a bit more of a formal look than the example at left.    Each  of  the  designs is capped with a wood mantel shelf for added contrast.

The striking stone fireplace and close-up pictured below incorporates over-
size voussoirs to make a dramatic design statement.   Note the contrasting textures of the stone surround and the elongated voussoirs framing the top of the firebox opening.

Less refined,  but equally dramatic,  is  the  rubble stone fireplace pictured below. Note the random sizes of the voussoirs framing the firebox arch and how they fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.    Echoing the detailing of the firebox opening and surround is a similar stone arch above the timber mantel shelf.      Bark-covered walls complement the rustic look and feel of this distinctive design.

In stark contrast to the  above  design,  the  rugged,  monumental  stone fireplace pictured  in  the  two  images  below  is  crafted  from  randomly stacked boulders extending from floor to ceiling.     Supporting the weight above the firebox opening is a massive, irregularly shaped stone lintel.

The dramatic but refined  design  pic-
tured at right and below is  beautiful-
ly crafted from ledge stone.   A large built-in recess in  the  overmantel  is lined and framed with  finely  finished wood  to  match  the  room's  overall design and decor.

The two stone fireplaces pictured below are very unique -- albeit each  in its own way. The bedroom fireplace below, left, is comprised of a series of pillars made from roughly cut rectangular stones stacked from floor to ceil-
ing.     Two wooden mantel shelves are supported by the stone  pillars  at varying heights.

Below, right, is another unusual but distinctive design.   Set within a living room alcove,  warm wood-paneled walls  angle  back  toward  the  hearth.
Clad with large, randomly cut thin stone slabs,  the fireplace surround con-
trasts sharply with the formality of the fine wood paneling flanking it.

Similarly, the fieldstone fireplace pictured below is recessed in the center of an alcove.    The flanking bookshelves and other wood detailing framing the alcove hint at the Craftsman or Arts and Crafts designs of yesteryear.
