I have to share this site I was exploring today (bookmarked it for 
the recipes and then forgot about it ;o))

The thing is, this is a /temporary/ decorating scheme! I thought it 
might have some ideas you could adapt.

Regarding the ceiling: I painted my girls' ceiling a "sky" blue, 
sponged in some clouds, and then used a slightly watered down glow-
in-the-dark paint for stars. You have to leave the lights shining 
directly on the ceiling for a while to get the full effect in the 
dark, but it's pretty cool and you don't notice the stars during the 
day unless you really look. (I would suggest looking for a finish 
that matches the glow paint. You can just use craft paint rather 
than buying a big can.) I just wish I'd thought to plot out some 
constellations before I started dabbing stars....
