I think it would look better to build the header.

I'm installing crown moulding in the dining room which has an opening
between the dining room and the kitchen. The opening goes right up to
the ceiling so I was wondering how I could "end" the moulding. I do
not want to install crown in the kitchen so does anyone have any
recommendations where it should end and how the end should look?
Should I end it between the 2 walls (5" space) or should I make a
regular corner into the kitchen and end it about 12" in?
