Question:

Would crown molding look good in a basment with a drop ceiling?

I'm doing a reno in my basement and want to put crown molding up but can't imagine it looking good. Any suggestions?

Answer:

Cool new item I tried and love it. Placed crown molding about two inches from ceiling all the way around room. Placed rope lights inside so that it gives a slight glow to the corner but bulbs themselves are not seen. Note before installation I ran a 110 outlet straight up the wall from the light switch (wires inside of wall), tied it into the switch so I can turn them on and off. The outlet is hidden behind the molding as well. Unique, Cool and all my relatives want me to do the same in their houses.
It would look absurd on a drop ceiling (metal grid and removable tiles). You wouldn't use any molding at all on such a ceiling.
