If you mount the crown about 2" below the ceiling (on a wedge of wood) you can drop some rope in it for soft indirect light. It makes a good night light to avoid the girls using the fridge light to move around at night.
That and rope under the kicks both on a motion detector is a nice addition.
These days I would look at LED solutions under the cabinets for counter top light.
If you are in there before drywall, putting smurf in feeding the cabinet skirts will keep your options open. Home run to a pantry, basement or other area where you can put transformers or a box for line voltage lights.
