Sorry I don’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:

“Baronial Brown” and “Chocolate Heart”

I previously painted stripes on the wall using some extra light blue and Grey paint we had sitting around (Sorry, I don’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.

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.

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.

Here is a picture of the brand and box. It was 8 Guitar Wall hooks and a couple pick holders.

Here is what was in the box.

Each hook is comprised of the base and hook portion. They even provided the wall anchors.

I started by just screwing the hooks to the base.

Here is the back of the base.

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″ from the ceiling and 20″ 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.

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.

They were pretty easy to mount and the 16″ spacing worked well for both Electric and acoustic guitars side by side.

All six hooks up, Room for a new guitar soon!

One more picture.
