					<description><![CDATA[<p>I just wanted to post a couple pictures of my bench I painted with Tulip slick fabric paint. I really like the color and how it turned out. The bench was one I had added a cushion to in the past and then had stapled on a burlap cover. While I liked the cover, I did not like the feeling of it. So I decided to paint it and see how it turned out. &#160; Disclaimer: This article is for entertainment purposes only.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>My son loves the look of wood and wanted to have some wood panels on his wall. So rather then buy the paneling and go through the hassle I decided to try paining them first. I had seen this technique of using a comb online and it looked pretty good. Here are my results below.

This means I may make a small amount of money at no cost to you if you buy something after clicking a link on this site. Sorry I don&#8217;t have as many pictures as I wanted of the progress, as I just found these on my phone from doing this a couple months ago. I decided to go ahead and post what I had. The starting point: Here are the paint colors I used, they were from home depot. The colors were: &#8220;Baronial Brown&#8221; and &#8220;Chocolate Heart&#8221; &#160; I previously painted stripes on the wall using some extra light blue and Grey paint we had sitting around (Sorry, I don&#8217;t have the names of those paints). This was to give a better variance between the boards. Here you can see I had taped off the light blue color so I started by painting over the light brown color with the Baronial Brown. Then I went back and added some splotches of Chocolate heart. For reference the original stripes were about 9-10 inches wide. As mentioned above started by brushing on the darker Baronial Brown color first and then brushed the light brown over it in splotches. While still wet I ran a comb through it like THESE. You can pick them up at a dollar store. When it came to a point that I wanted to end a board I would just drag the comb down to make a line. Once I had those planks painted, I waited a couple hours and removed the painters tape to start the planks that were in between the ones I already completed. To paint these I found it easier to use one of THESE things to put on the dark paint straight rather then tape up what I had just painted and risk having issues with the tape on still drying paint. Again going after putting down some dark using the light brown paint on top, then combing it with a brush to make the wood grain. The more you use the comb, the more the color underneath starts to show. Here is a closeup of how it looks. &#160; &#160; &#160; Here is a picture of the final product. I took it with my cell and plan to go back and get a better picture with the good camera.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to do a quick post on the Divano Roma Splitback Couch. It was a pretty good deal as it was under $200 and that included free shipping. It can double as a couch and be folded into a bed if needed. DISCLAIMER: This is not an instructional post on how to install or put together your product, This is for entertainment only.  Please consult with a professional if you do not know what you are doing. I will not be responsible if you injure yourself while doing this, or for any damages you cause. Also this site uses affiliate links, this means we may get a small fee if you buy something through one of these links at no cost to you. This is the couch that I am reviewing: Divano Roma Furniture Collection &#8211; Modern Plush Tufted Linen Fabric Splitback Living Room Sleeper Futon (Orange) Here is what you can expect if you order one. The couch showed up at the door in this large box. It was pretty heavy and took two of us to carry it inside the house. &#160; While the box was big, it did not seem to be large enough to fit the whole couch. I started to wonder if I was missing a box. So we opened it up to find out. We were very careful when using the knife to open so we did not cut into the fabric. On our packaging they did include a piece of cardboard to help prevent this and you can see it in the picture below. &#160; Looking inside I was pretty sure we were missing part of the couch. &#160; Here is the couch removed from the box. &#160; Folding open the couch we could see the extra pieces were hidden in a couple compartments underneath the couch. &#160; Here are the hidden compartments opened. You can see it included the pillows and end pieces. &#160; After pulling it all out we found the bolts and legs to the couch as well. &#160; Here are the 6 legs and bolts. After seeing this, I though this was going to be a breeze to put together. &#160; So starting with the leg&#8217;s I did the corner legs first, just a couple Hex bolts and washer&#8217;s for each leg. &#160; Then I did the center leg&#8217;s. Oh, they also included the needed Hex wrench. &#160; All 6 legs installed on the couch.  Only took a few minutes. &#160; Next I flipped it over onto its legs. &#160; Now to attach the end guards. They just slide into these brackets. &#160; One they are mounted the couch looks like this. &#160; One neat thing about this couch is the back has a few different positions. You can go full recline to flat like below. It is about the size of a twin bed. &#160; Here it is with the back of the couch in a recline. &#160; You can even have each side recline separately. &#160; I wanted to get a good closeup of the fabric. Here is about the best I could get. It looks really nice. &#160; Here is a shot of it in the room. &#160; Summary I think for the price this is an amazing couch. The couch has a pretty firm feeling which I like, but that may detract others. Also the couch is 75 inches in length, but if you measure from the inside of the end pieces it is 68&#8243; (5ft 8&#8243;). So if you want to use it as a bed and are taller then 5&#8242; 8&#8243; you might want to pop off the end piece before sleeping (Or lay down at an angle depending on your height.) The end pieces are easy to remove and put back on. I will update this if we have any issues with wear and tear, but so far I am really impressed with the quality for this price. It seems to be a great value. Again the couch can be found HERE &#160;</p>

<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/couch-box.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-320" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/couch-box-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="639" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/couch-box-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/couch-box-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/couch-box-768x511.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/couch-box.jpg 1098w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the box was big, it did not seem to be large enough to fit the whole couch. I started to wonder if I was missing a box. So we opened it up to find out. We were very careful when using the knife to open so we did not cut into the fabric. On our packaging they did include a piece of cardboard to help prevent this and you can see it in the picture below.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Looking inside I was pretty sure we were missing part of the couch.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-open-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-322" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-open-2-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="639" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-open-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-open-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-open-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-open-2.jpg 1134w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is the couch removed from the box.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-removed-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-323" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-removed-2-1024x703.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="659" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-removed-2-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-removed-2-300x206.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-removed-2-768x527.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-box-removed-2.jpg 1082w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Folding open the couch we could see the extra pieces were hidden in a couple compartments underneath the couch.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-324" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-1024x645.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="605" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-300x189.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-768x484.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment.jpg 1122w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here are the hidden compartments opened. You can see it included the pillows and end pieces.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-325" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-2-1024x679.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="637" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-2-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-2-768x509.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-2.jpg 1118w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After pulling it all out we found the bolts and legs to the couch as well.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-326" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-3-1024x671.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="629" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-3-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-3-300x197.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-3-768x503.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-3.jpg 1114w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here are the 6 legs and bolts. After seeing this, I though this was going to be a breeze to put together.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-327" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-4-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="639" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-4-768x511.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-hidden-compartment-4.jpg 1131w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So starting with the leg&#8217;s I did the corner legs first, just a couple Hex bolts and washer&#8217;s for each leg.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-328" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-1024x684.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="641" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-300x201.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-768x513.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly.jpg 1125w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then I did the center leg&#8217;s. Oh, they also included the needed Hex wrench.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-329" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-2-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-2.jpg 1131w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All 6 legs installed on the couch.  Only took a few minutes.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-330" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-3-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-3.jpg 1114w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next I flipped it over onto its legs.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-331" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-4-1024x659.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="618" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-4-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-4-300x193.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-4-768x494.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-4.jpg 1134w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now to attach the end guards. They just slide into these brackets.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-332" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-5-1024x684.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="641" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-5-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-5-768x513.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-5.jpg 1120w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One they are mounted the couch looks like this.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-333" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-6-1024x676.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="634" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-6-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-6-300x198.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-6-768x507.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-6-500x330.jpg 500w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-assembly-6.jpg 1124w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One neat thing about this couch is the back has a few different positions. You can go full recline to flat like below. It is about the size of a twin bed.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Flat.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-334" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Flat-1024x697.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="653" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Flat-1024x697.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Flat-300x204.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Flat-768x523.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Flat.jpg 1106w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here it is with the back of the couch in a recline.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Recline.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-336" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Recline-1024x685.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="642" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Recline-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Recline-300x201.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Recline-768x514.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-Recline.jpg 1126w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can even have each side recline separately.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-seperate.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-337" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-seperate-1024x681.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="638" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-seperate-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-seperate-300x199.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-seperate-768x511.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Folded-seperate.jpg 1131w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I wanted to get a good closeup of the fabric. Here is about the best I could get. It looks really nice.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Fabric-closeup-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-338" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Fabric-closeup-2-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="639" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Fabric-closeup-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Fabric-closeup-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Fabric-closeup-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-Fabric-closeup-2.jpg 1125w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is a shot of it in the room.</p>
<p><a href="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-overall-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-339" src="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-overall-2-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-overall-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-overall-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-overall-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://gabbiegillmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Divano-Roma-overall-2.jpg 1054w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>I think for the price this is an amazing couch. The couch has a pretty firm feeling which I like, but that may detract others. Also the couch is 75 inches in length, but if you measure from the inside of the end pieces it is 68&#8243; (5ft 8&#8243;). So if you want to use it as a bed and are taller then 5&#8242; 8&#8243; you might want to pop off the end piece before sleeping (Or lay down at an angle depending on your height.) The end pieces are easy to remove and put back on. I will update this if we have any issues with wear and tear, but so far I am really impressed with the quality for this price. It seems to be a great value. Again the couch can be found HERE</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>We decided to clean up the floor space a little and put our kids Guitars on the wall. To do this we purchased some guitar wall hooks off of Amazon. Here are a few pictures of putting them up and how we did it. DISCLAIMER: This is just how I mounted my Guitar hooks, not an instructional on how you should do yours. Your situation may be different then mine. Please consult with a professional if you do not know what you are doing. I will not be responsible if you injure yourself while doing this, or for any damages you cause. Also this site uses affiliate links, this means we may get a small fee if you buy something through one of these links at no cost to you.  The project start: We purchased these hooks off of amazon. It was a box of 8 hooks. We only planned to use 6 of them for now. &#160; Here is a picture of the brand and box. It was 8 Guitar Wall hooks and a couple pick holders. &#160; Here is what was in the box. &#160; Each hook is comprised of the base and hook portion. They even provided the wall anchors. &#160; I started by just screwing the hooks to the base. &#160; Here is the back of the base. &#160; Next I found the studs in the wall with my stud finder, as I wanted to make sure I had at least one screw in each stud. I was spacing them ~16 inches apart. I was also alternating height at 14&#8243; from the ceiling and 20&#8243; from the ceiling. As a precaution I made sure my marks were 16 inches apart which is a common spacing in the US. I have not done this in the past and hit a water pipe thinking it was a stud. That was not a fun lesson. Below you can see I was using a single sheetrock anchor and the other two holes were going to be into a stud. I just predrilled my hole for my anchor and tapped it in. &#160; Here you can see how I was alternating the height between holders. While I could have used the included screws, I had some heavier duty ones handy that I chose to use if going into the stud. &#160; They were pretty easy to mount and the 16&#8243; spacing worked well for both Electric and acoustic guitars side by side. &#160; All six hooks up, Room for a new guitar soon! &#160; One more picture. Thanks for visiting! &#160;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We decided to clean up the floor space a little and put our kids Guitars on the wall. To do this we purchased some guitar wall hooks off of Amazon. Here are a few pictures of putting them up and how we did it.</p>
