Looks good. This is what I'm planning for my basement ceiling as well.
For the can lights, you just sprayed the cans & frames? Are they IC rated? I'd be a bit worried about burning off the paint...

They are IC rated, haven't had any issues with the paint burning at all... just make sure u mask the outlet. Good luck, looks even better in person...

That looks really good 
I always like how much higher the ceiling feels.

Looks good... don't see it too often as many older houses have less than 2x10 joists so they have to cover it with 1/2" drywall against fire, per Code:

That, and one should always check with their HO Insurance carrier as they may require it per local amendments to the code, and not cover it if ever a claim.... Wood 2x joists have a 8-12 minute burn time--- double that with 1/2" drywall.
Note, the joists above the stairs have a pipe running perpendicular to them, drilled very low to the bottom of joists-check for 2" of meat left, per code- otherwise the joist rating drops one size...; http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/icod/irc/2012/icod_irc_2012_5_par025.htm Maybe just my eyes- because it all painted black, lol.
