Hi,
I am planning on doing a star ceiling and would like some advice from people who have done it. I have a room that has 8ft ceilings{ no trey }. It is hard to get to the corners as the ceiling and ductwork get in the way. I will be putting blue rope lighting behind the crown moulding like SMX.

Here are my choices:

1. paint it black and put most of the stars in the center and do the best i can with the edges.{very sparse out on the edges}

2. Make a frame from crown moulding and do a "window" in the center of the room, say 12x8 ft. Paint the "window" black and outside area dark grey.

3. Paint the ceiling a milano blue color and put them primarily in the center.{ maybe look like a dusk sky?}

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,
Kale

I should add that i am doing this after drywall is completed. I will be down below and will poke the holes with a 18 gauge needle. I am hiring one of the small construction job guys to go up in the little 3 ft "attic" and put the fiberoptics thru.
