Paint the ceiling in your cabin bathroom with ceiling paint, a paintbrush and paint roller. Consider painting the ceiling white or light tan, as these colors work well for a cabin bathroom as they match the bathroom decor colors. Attach an extension on the handle of the paint roller to prevent you from having to stand on a ladder or stool to paint the ceiling.
