The current ceiling has a whitewash over the tongue and grove. It's a nice idea, but it's inconsistent and a bit dated looking. Also, matching the stain if I make changes would be a problem. So I decided to paint the ceiling. Saw a sample house that used grey on the ceiling and really like the way it looks. Here's the sample:
Of course this has a lot more upgrades, so it will be a while before I can match this look. Since the beams in the master bedroom are already white, I figured I'd start there.
Here is the result. Doesn't look like much of a difference in the pictures, but it's much more noticeable in person.
Painting it this way gives me more flexibility, so that when I patch holes when moving pipes or other changes, I can hide the work more easily. I may also consider filling and sanding the knot holes to clean up the look even more, but no rush on that.
This look should fit better when I paint the doors. Plan is to use a lighter shade of grey on the doors. I'm also replacing the brass hinges and knobs with cleaner brushed nickle hardware.
