What do I do with this knotty pine wall? 6 hints left

Hint 1

The knotty pine wall in the downstairs room is full of knotholes that you can push in like buttons, so there's clearly something going on here. But what knots should I press?

Hint 2

In the upstairs room, there's an odd diagram on the wall; it assigns a letter to each knothole. But what are we spelling out?

Hint 3

Hint 4

Press the knotholes that spell "June." Check that diagram again if you forget what letters are where, or here's a rough diagram of my own:
