Frank and Doreen Schooley and their daughter Kate sailed north from the Caribbean into Charlotte Harbor aboard their Chinese Junk “CONCUBINE” in 1994, looking for a new home in a tropical environment.  The family settled in Matlacha, where their beautiful sailboat is just steps from the back door.

    Frank, a Florida native from Cocoa Beach, is a cabinetmaker with many years experience.  Beginning with antique reproductions in the 70's, Frank has designed and built yacht interiors, furniture in many styles, and even some instruments, adding to his varied experience working with wood. His interest in interior design led him to the cabinet business years ago, and he has installed hundreds of kitchens in the surrounding area.  Frank has also served on the Board of Directors for the Pine Island Chamber of Commerce.

     Doreen has years of experience in the banking industry, but interior design is her passion.  Her knowledge of materials and eye for color, style and design is an important asset for Tropical Kitchens, and her attention to detail keeps your project running smoothly.
