Mouldings: Crunch Time!!

Time to make a decision about crown mouldings for the living room. 

This is our favorite of what we've found online: 


But there is no source information. This is obviously made up of at least 3 separate pieces: top, middle and bottom. What i like most about it is that the curved middle section doesn't just curve back to the wall - it swoops back out away from the wall. Unfortunately, we cannot find the swoopy middle part.

So, based on this photo, our architect prepared the following two options which combine crown mouldings readily available from Garden State Lumber.

Option 1. Parlor Floor larger crown moulding, constructed of (3) separate pieces: 
CB312
DCR734
WM445





Option 2. Typical crown moulding, constructed of (2) separate pieces, smaller than the large moulding at the parlor, this option uses the same top trim WM445 to provide a relationship to the parlor: 
PLC634
WM445





Also shown in these renderings are the following baseboard configurations: 

Taller Base for parlor:  
PLB9
DCB714

Shorter Base at typical floors: 
BB518
PLB8416

The baseboards look pretty short in these pics, so I'm not sure what I'm seeing. Hard to tell.
