Typically a bedroom has to have these features; a window, a closet, and a door. One of the windows cannot be more than 44" from the floor and must allow egress, 3' x 5' for example.

Is there a law that says that you can't have a fireplace in your bedroom?

Depending upon where you live, the building code, fire code, and life safety code appropriate for your occupancy (single family dwelling, multi-family, apartment, institution, dormitory, etc) will tell you whether this is a permitted structure. Your municipal building official may be able to help you.

Technically, they can be on a 15 amp breaker when you use 15 amp outlets. There is a difference. Be sure to check your local code (just call the city building department and tell them you have a code question). some cities require the bedroom outlets to be on an arc-fault breaker.
