We used bead board for a similar home project. It can be painted or stained like the walls and ceiling.

The house was over 100 years old. I think the wood is pine. It was refininshed with a clear coat.

love the bead board on the ceiling! Have never seen such a variety of stains in a sheet a bead board before! We have a lot of tug and grove pine in our home and would like to consider something to what the bead board is in this photo for our ceiling! Do you know if it is still available to purchase?

Yes, we just finished our renovation 9 months ago. We purchased it from a local lumber supply store. Also, we added bead board on the wall in a new pantry to give it an "old" feeling.

The question remains is it bead board on the ceiling or is it just a guess? If I were guessing it looks like some kind of bamboo materials! I can see that the bead board on the walls.

So is the bead board pine or oak or what?

What dimensions were this room, and are there any other views? Would love to know what was done on the opposite side. Thanks.

I am sorry to say that I don't know for sure - the wood ceiling was existing when I came onto the project. My guess would be pine or cedar.
