and embrace the gifts you’ve been given

hi there!

I’m Chantal Steele

I’m a sourdough-baking, coffee-brewing, garden-growing mother of two in the Pacific Northwest.

I’ve always been attracted to the idea of simple living, but after years of battling depression and anxiety, I came to a life-changing realization.

The only way to be truly happy is to embrace who you are meant to be and learn to savor the little things in life.

That being said, this website is dedicated to the beauty and joy that can be found in life’s smallest details. It’s also a celebration of the individual gifts we’ve all been given and the cultivation of those talents.

It may be different for you, but for me, it’s a love of writing, family, good food, simple living, and a good cup of coffee. I find joy in these small uncomplicated things and love to share them here.

But where do you come in? If you struggle to find joy and happiness and have always wrestled with comparison, you’re in the right place. It’s time to embrace the life and blessings you’ve been given.

Restored316 has been a big part of The Gingham Apron’s journey. We had begun writing our book and had started a very homespun website when we saw your contest. I entered the contest, prayed for God’s will to be done, and you chose us! The way that you made our message and site so beautiful truly opened up the door for a publisher to consider our manuscript, and now our dream of a book is coming to fruition. All this to say, we are so thankful to you and to R316, and we consider you a partner in getting a book about the beauty of God’s love out into the world.
