My house has a stairway that has two lower sections, one from the foyer and the other from a small hall (for lack of anything else I could think of calling it) that meet at a landing mid way to the second floor. The foyer has crown molding installed along with chair rail. The upper hallway and the high ceiling in the foyer (foyer us two stories) will have the same size crown installed. The section of the stairway that goes to the small hall has a partial ceiling that slopes like it would on a normal stairway. I want to put crown molding in that small lower hall but am not certain on where to end that section.
I see two options - first only on the flat part and end where it rises parallel to the stairs the other is to carry it up and end it where the sloped ceiling ends. Pictures below.
First picture is looking from the second floor toward the front door from the second floor.
Second picture is looking from the second floor toward the stairway that ends with the sloped ceiling.
Third picture is looking from the front door toward the upstairs hall.
Fourth picture is looking from the bottom of the section with the partial sloped ceiling.
Fifth picture is of the foyer looking toward the front door.
Sixth picture is also looking from the bottom of the section with the partial sloped ceiling.

How would you end that section of crown molding at the end of the flat portion of the ceiling or run it up the slope to where it ends?
Thanks
