Many moons ago (no pun intended) I found a company that made giant stencils of the night sky so you could paint the constellations on your ceiling. The stencil came in rolls about a yard wide; unroll, stick to the ceiling with 'fun-tak', paint in all the holes with glow-in-the-dark paint and voila! After about 2 hours work, I had the entire visible night sky of the northern hemipshere above my head! Sounds kinda cheesy, but the effect was actually quite stunning. The paint is white and I painted mine on a stucco ceiling - it was completely unnoticeable during the day or with the lights on. A quick Google search comes up with a lot of companies that still carry it (it's called simply The Night Sky Star Stencil), but they don't appear to have a website of their own.
