To achieve that kind of weathered look, all you need is two stains. First, you need to stain the wood with any sun-bleached color stain (like Rustoleum wood stain) and wipe off the excess. Then you add a little brown stain(i.e., Minwax Early American) and wipe it off. You could use a weathered gray as well.

Can you GREY wash wood?

To grey wash wood, you can either use paint and water or paint and wax. If you use paint and water, you'll still be able to see the wood grain underneath. If you're using paint and wax, apply a white or cream latex paint and a clear wax base coat to the wood, before wiping grey wax over the surface.
