Hi chris12,

DH and I built a corner fireplace in our current home. It's located in the great room, which was an addition we put on the house about 4 years ago. I went through all our pics this morning and every single one either has my parrot in it or someone standing in front of the fireplace. I will try to get a new pic for you a little later today and will post it.

The ceiling in that room is sort of vaulted, but is not super tall. We stoned the fireplace using stone dug from our own yard and it goes all the way to the ceiling. I love it and will be very sad to leave it behind when we sell this house. It is unique to our taste and I can only hope the new owners enjoy it as much as we have.

I'll be back a bit later.......

Ours is a corner fireplace in a vaulted space. It starts out around 15 feet on the low side. The vault heads up to 18 feet, but I don't know the ultimate height of the higher side of the stonework. This is cultured stone from a local manufacturer.

Here is a photo:

Thankyou mamabirrd! I would love to see your fireplace! And Klabio, love your fireplace. It is nice to see a corner fireplace, something you don't see very often! Seems like a good space for a fireplace, then you have wall space for a t.v! Anyone else have cultured stone by owens corning?

Actually, if you can't push the fireplace outside the house envelope, a corner installation is less intrusive, less damaging to the room, than putting it on a flat wall.
