Leaving them open, I think it will look better with light from within. Yes I am going to do my best to "light it up".

To all who have responded; thanks for the encouragement, what I am doing is completely new to me. I am going on pure instinct here.
Thanks again

Some more painting, added a small detail that probably won't be seen, underside of the porch is sky blue, which fools flies into thinking there is no shelter. It does actually work!

Added white corners, I think it looks better than the monolithic blue block.

Paint job is pending approval from my friend, still in the rough, if he likes it then onward with touches.
If not ....... sandpaper......
Trying a bit of an art-deco look.
