Another idea: I live in an old house that has a fairly thick molding
(3" thick, it's 9" from the ceiling). I painted my ceilings white. The
walls I painted a light shade of whatever color the room was to be. The
area between the molding and the ceiling I painted a dark shade of what
I went on the wall. The molding I painted a white (along with the
trim). It makes the ceiling looks like it's floating a bit and they
seem higher. It's a nice effect.

Sounds nice.
