I would love to use beadboard on a ceiling but the board that I've seen isn't long enough so I will have pieces end to end. How do I hide the seam? I don't want an obvious seam to be running across my ceiling.

The bead board in this ceiling is made up of 1x6 T&G boards that have beaded edges and a center bead (we have made similar ceilings using 1x4 T&G boards with beaded edges). When you use either one, the end splices will not be objectionable. The spice is awkward (and the bead less defined) when using plywood sheets of beaded material.
