I am trying to find crow molding that I can do on the inside that goes up to the ceiling. Something like this. Anyone know how to piece this together?

 

[Avant]

This is how I want it to look.

Looks like they just used multiple moldings.

What you "want" is a box, case and crown, which is straight forward, cut, fit, nail, prime and paint.

The last picture is what Snoonyb said

1 x 6 or what fits, a case molding like for a window and a crown molding.

Makes sense,

Currently I have a base molding on the bottom part. Then just get a case molding to go up then mount the crown on top of that to the ceiling?

 

[Avant]

Btw, it really help once I figured out the difference between base, case and crown molding.

Casing is a type of molding, typically used to trim the perimeter of windows and doors. Casing is typically less wide (tall?), but thicker than base molding.

Base molding (or baseboard) is a type of molding, which is applied where the wall and floor meet.

Crown molding (or crowns) is a type of molding, which is applied where the wall and ceiling meet.

It always helps to understand what others are talking about.
You can do what ever you want and if it looks good when it is done you did it right.

In my book there is only one rule. Look at windows or doors, the case molding is always set back an 1/8 or 1/4 inch because lining 2 pieces up to get a flat joint never seems to work or look good.

When it comes to cutting crown, consider the table of you saw ( chop saw) or the floor in an angle cutting box is the ceiling and the piece will have to be held at the same angle as it will be at when nailed up.

That looks really good.

Thanks! The ceiling was pretty bad when I pulled the old lighting down. Had to level it all out. I am pretty happy how it turned out. My first DIY at the new house!
