12 beautiful DIY Weathered Wood Stain Finishes and techniques including white wash, driftwood, barn board and gray wash. Add the Restoration Hardware salvaged wood look to your home decor and furniture!
Remember the Restoration Hardware knockoff farmhouse table I made last summer for our outdoor gazebo? Well we love it so much, we plan on building a second one for our kitchen eating area!

I really love the gray wash finish I used last time, but I always like to try new things so I gathered up a few other weathered wood stain techniques for inspiration! Some of these wood finishes use stain and some use a combination of stain and paint:
