My ceiling dilemma

I have started to paint the white - and am not sure what I want to do with the ceiling - here are some random pics of the plasterwork ( it runs entirely throughout the entrace way - living room and dining room )

seen through mirror over mantel
entrance - these angels in each corner may have sold  the  flat to me they're in each corner
and are supposed to bring luck - still waiting
hmm - I am liking the gray - oh oh - maybe everything else can be white and I'll leave that gray
where it is?

I once saw a victorian house with the ceilings painted silver - and it was gorgeous - but I am hesitant
with ceilings - they are a lot of work especially ornate ones like these.  Walls I can paint and repaint
as many times as I feel like - ceilings? not so much.

Update at Nella's

On the weekend we found this piece ( looks very much like a Restoration Hardware piece - for 399.00 which was a steal ) and I cannot tell you how good it looks in this space - we stole the mirror from her dressing room and most of these accessories come from Chapters believe it or not.
Today was mostly work you cannot see - scraping paint off the window panes - finishing ceiling molding - waxing the coffee table ( with Annie Sloan clear - love it ) painting the french door to the living room.  Not so rewarding -
We are on the look out for a rug - and a seamstress who can make Roman Blinds.  A little torn about artwork as well.  I have to paint out the T.V. stand - but I can see the light now.



If you look through the mirror you can see a medallion on the ceiling - where lighting used to be I suppose -
Wouldn't either of these be awesome?





Oh and the white has begun at my place - lol

I did it on purpose - because I do not have anymore of  the gray that is on the walls, by doing just a few brush strokes of white I have no choice now but to go all white.  I like it against the black french doors!

Night night all
