Painted Ceilings

So my cousin recently decided she wanted to spice up her entryway thanks to this post here.  When she removed the drop ceiling panels to stencil  them she found a wood pitched ceiling in great condition.  So our wheels got to turning on what we could do with that.  I personally love painted ceilings, especially in a space like a mudroom where you can have the confidence to have some more fun and be a little more playful than say a living room or master bedroom.  So we were on the hunt for some inspiration and came across these spaces.  What do you think...should we paint, whitewash, stripes?
