A a crown molding assembly is provided. The crown molding assembly includes a wall portion and a ceiling portion meeting along a perimeter of a room or portion thereof. The crown molding assembly further includes a plurality of ceramic wall tiles secured to the wall portion proximal to the ceiling portion. A plurality of ceramic bridging tiles, each positioned adjacent one of the ceramic wall tiles, extends toward the ceiling portion. The ceramic wall tiles and the ceramic bridging tiles together form crown molding segments positioned along at least a portion of the perimeter of the room.

What is claimed is: 1. A crown molding assembly comprising: a wall and a ceiling meeting along a perimeter of a room or portion thereof; a plurality of ceramic wall tiles secured to said wall proximal to said ceiling, each said ceramic wall tile having an outwardly extending support surface below a top of said ceramic wall tile; a plurality of ceramic bridging tiles, each said ceramic bridging tile having a lower resting surface positioned on said support surface of one of said ceramic wall tiles and having a top surface extending to said ceiling, wherein said ceramic wall tiles and said ceramic bridging tiles together form crown molding segments positioned along at least a substantially planar portion of said perimeter of said room; and a spacer positioned between adjacent crown molding segments positioned along the substantially planar portion of the perimeter of the room and forming a gap between said adjacent crown molding segments, said adjacent crown molding segments both being positioned along the same plane, and said spacer being oriented to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to said plane. 2. The crown molding assembly of claim 1, wherein said support surface of each said ceramic wall tile extends along an anterior surface of said ceramic wall tile. 3. The crown molding assembly of claim 2, wherein at least one of said cermaic bridging tiles is adhered to said support surface of one of said ceramic wall tiles. 4. The crown molding assembly of claim 1 further comprising: a support mounted to said wall and positioned to support at least one of said ceramic wall tiles. 5. The crown molding assembly of claim 4, wherein each of said ceramic wall tiles has a recess extending along a posterior surface of said ceramic wall tile and positioned to accommodate said support mounted to said wall. 6. The crown molding assembly of claim 1 further comprising: a plurality of ceramic ceiling tiles, each positioned adjacent one of said ceramic bridging tiles and secured to said ceiling, each said ceramic ceiling tile extending between one of said ceramic bridging tiles and said ceiling; wherein said ceramic wall tiles, said ceramic bridging tiles, and said ceramic ceiling tiles together form crown molding segments positioned along at least a portion of said perimeter of said room. 7. The crown molding assembly of claim 1 further comprising: an adhesive securing said ceramic wall tiles to said wall. 8. The crown molding assembly of claim 1, wherein said ceramic bridging tiles are secured to said ceiling. 9. The crown molding assembly of claim 8 further comprising: an adhesive securing said ceramic bridging tiles to said ceiling. 10. The crown molding segment assembly of claim 1, wherein a profile of said spacer does not extend beyond that of the adjacent crown molding segments. 11. The crown molding segment assembly of claim 1, said spacer being formed from a material selected from the group consisting of foam, wood, plastic, metal, and rubber. 12. The crown molding segment assembly of claim 1, further comprising a filler material positioned in a gap defined between the adjacent crown molding segments. 13. A method of installing crown molding where a wall and a ceiling meet along a perimeter of a room or portion thereof, said method comprising the steps of: securing a plurality of ceramic wall tiles to the wall proximal to the ceiling; positioning a plurality of ceramic bridging tiles such that a lower resting surface of each ceramic bridging tile is on an outwardly extending support surface below a top of one of the ceramic wall tiles and such that each ceramic bridging tile extends from the outwardly extending support surface to the ceiling, thereby forming crown molding segments positioned along at least a substantially planar portion of the perimeter of the room; and positioning a spacer between adjacent crown molding segments positioned along the substantially planar portion of the perimeter of the room to form a gap between the adjacent crown molding segments, said adjacent crown molding segments both being positioned along the same plane, and the spacer being oriented to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to said plane. 14. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of: supporting a ceramic bridging tile on a support surface extending along an anterior surface of a respective ceramic wall tile. 15. The method of claim 14 further comprising the step of: adhering at least one of the ceramic bridging tiles to the support surface of one of the ceramic wall tiles. 16. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of: mounting a support to the wall for supporting at least one of the ceramic wall tiles. 17. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of: positioning the support mounted to the wall within a recess extending along a posterior surface of the ceramic wall tile. 18. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of: securing a plurality of ceramic ceiling tiles adjacent the ceramic bridging tiles and to the ceiling, each said ceramic ceiling tile extending between one of said ceramic bridging tiles and said ceiling, thereby forming crown molding segments positioned along at least a portion of the perimeter of the room. 19. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of: securing the ceramic wall tiles to the wall with an adhesive. 20. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of: securing the ceramic bridging tiles to the ceiling. 21. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of: securing the ceramic bridging tiles to the ceiling with an adhesive. 22. A crown molding assembly comprising: a wall and a ceiling meeting along a perimeter of a room or portion thereof; a plurality of ceramic crown molding segments positioned along at least a substantially planar portion of the perimeter of the room, each of said segments including: a wall tile secured to said wall proximal to said ceiling and having an outwardly extending support surface below a top of said wall tile; and a bridging tile having a lower resting surface positioned on said support surface of said wall tile and extending toward said ceiling; a ceiling tile positioned between said bridging tile and said ceiling and secured to said ceiling; and a spacer positioned between adjacent crown molding segments positioned along the substantially planar portion of the perimeter of the room, said adjacent crown molding segments both being positioned along the same plane, said spacer being oriented to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to said plane, wherein a gap is defined by said spacer between adjacent crown molding segments and said gap is filled with a filler material.
