Answers:
_Starry nights_ is one of my favorite paintings too.
Have you ever heard the Don McLean song called Vincent ?
Vincent
Don McLean
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul...
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they did not know how --
Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they did not know how--
Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you
But still, your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do--
But I could've told you, Vincent:
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you.
Starry, Starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they're not listening still--
Perhaps they never will.
[Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch Painter]

Don McLean
Now back to your room.
You have already done a great job on the paint.
Why not frame a poster of the painting and hang it up ?
Use some more subtual colors from the painting to add accents.
Perhaps yellow sheets would play nicely off the dark wall colors? What about a bit of green ?
Good luck and have fun !
Just get a picture and eyeball your ceiling, using a long handled roller and go for it. Or you could do a Michelangelo and set up scaffolding.
Won't be easy but it would be really cool if you can carry it off. Good Luck!
