    Why are you putting plywood on the ceiling?

      we are making a quick tiny house for my dad to move into in our backyard and we are having to take the fastest way out. He wants it rustic so he's getting it VERY rustic. We bought a barn type portable building and finishing out the inside. May end up being the worst mistake we ever made but so far its looking really cute.

    I've never done it, but if it's like most wood finish work, I'd fill the nail holes with wood putty, sand the surface, and then stain.

    That may be a little heavy for a ceiling. They make lighter plywood. But, I would totally paint it to look like shiplap

    I like the stained wood idea. Especially. If there is natural light such. As window. And matching stain trim. Then varnish. Or gloss the ceiling. The more light the darker. The stain. Gloves rag or sponge.
