Hi there:

We are just beginning construction of a new home with vaulted ceilings and wondered if you would share the construction method to create what appears to be shadow lines around the edge of the ceiling where it meets the wall. Thank you.

Hi there! Its called a kerf or a fry reglet and it defines the room beautifully. It comes at a premium I am afraid. Your will need an architect to design and coordinate it properly for it to work. If money is tight, you can always paint one in!
