0:00 You will need to get power to the area of the crown molding.
0:51 Prepare each board for building out the crown molding.
1:33 Determine the location of every stud using a stud finder.
1:48 Miter each board according to the corner that it will fit on (outside corner or inside corner).
2:10 Nail the first level boards in 5 1/2" from the top (or the height that you choose). Use the precut blocks of wood to choose universal height around the perimeter. Each piece that you nail in you must make sure that the nail enters a stud and you must make sure you are not nailing into any wiring or piping.
4:01 Nail the second level boards in up 5/8" from the bottom of the first level board to give it a depth of the buildout.
5:30 Lastly, install the crown molding around the perimeter.
8:51 Paint and caulk the crown molding.
9:20 Configure the Philips Hue Bridge and LED kits
12:20 Install the Philips Hue power adapters and LED lights
13:15 Test your lights and look at your awesome work
13:59 If the corners of the crown molding do not line up as they were in my video you can easily solve this by gluing it with cyanoacrylate glue and use some boards as I did to create pressure from the ceiling on both the left and right pieces. Let it sit overnight and it will cure.
