Welcome to CT.

Have reveals instead of tight miters or flush joints. ie do the bottom, then make the sides 1/8 or 1/4" longer than needed to be tight.

Better resilience against seasonal movement, etc. But your way does look slick and ultra clean.

 

Thanks - wish I could do a reveal but the ho wants them to look structural (which after recently moving here from Colorado and having done a fair amount of timber framing, they don’t). You’re right about the mitre though, might just nail them all on the flat from here on out then fill and sand joint since it’s getting painted

 

Frame it with beams ?!

Lol. I know. I’m just the finish guy on these houses and the trim out never seems to get discussed before hand, meet with ho after drywall. Beams were an add on (which is why the lights aren’t laid out correctly for them)

 

Looks like drywall and corner beads with out reveals

 

I get so annoyed when the recessed lighting isnt laid out right with the beam layout. Nothing ever seems to be thought out these days.
Last kitchen i did, custom cabinets beaded beams coffered ceiling and the d bag kitchen designer who decided out of the blue one day that he was an electrician , did the electric. Well my crown for the ceiling was just sneaking by the trim rings in spots, weird shadows from bad placement, and stupid clusters of lights in one spot but none in others. Dont get me started on the undercabinet lighting that sticks done below light rail becuase he changed from led tape to seagull festoons at the end. Hes a lazy POS.
