julie tontini you can recreate the look in the cabinets and floor with a White Oak or European Oak. There are two finishing options. Option 1 WOCA Diamond Oil White or Extra White as the finish. If you want to highlight the grain and add a little more depth, Option 2 WOCA Pretreatment Wood Lye White and and then finish with WOCA Diamond Oil White or Extra White.

There is a Lenmar dull-rubbed finish in their oil based. Less sheen than satin

There is Traffic Satin (matte) and then there is Traffic HD (high durability, for the most demanding floors). Traffic HD is available in a commercial extra matte finish. Traffic satin has a sheen, while Naturale is dead flat matte. Traffic HD extra matte gloss level is between Traffic and Naturale. I have not seen Traffic HD extra matte in person, however I believe it would have less sheen than satin approaching a dead flat matte gloss. It might give you a more cleanable surface and it is the most durable finish option from Bona in the waterborne category. Perhaps a floor materials dealer will have samples of each gloss level for you to see. Click on the Bona link and search for technical documents that list the gloss level numbers for each finish, if that's of interest to you. There is a difference between how Naturale and the Traffic products are applied. The recommended applicator for Naturale is a paint roller and for Traffic it is a floor coater (t-bar) applicator and is used in the snowplow method. There are other manufacturers of quality waterborne wood floor finishes. Bona is the one I am most familiar with. I have not used the oil finishes, which for the most part are non-film forming finishes. But I am told they can give an almost naked look to wood, although with not as much protection and durability.

Commercial finish on wood floor

Matte is a difficult level to live with. It shows the weirdest things...like bare foot prints look SHINIER than the floor. For this reason a satin is a better option than 'matte'.
