What do ya think of crown molding along a slanted vaulted ceiling?
My wife suggested it might look good, but I'm having a hard time visualizing the
lower intersection where it meets the regular horizontal crown molding.

We have a 14' vaulted ceiling running about 28' front to back and looking for
ideas to dress it up with a fancier look.

I like crown molding, but I am not sure I would like it with most
vaulted ceilings.

There are several possible solutions to the intersection. What would
work best would depend on the particular situation. One possibility would
be a block to terminate whatever molding is intersecting at that point.

There was also a very nice (and competent) article in a very recent Fine
Homebuilding dealing with large-scale mouldings and such trickery...
