From 1999 to 2003, Ashwell hosted a TV show, titled "Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic," on E! and the Style Network.

The site Shelterpop.com asked, "Can Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Survive in Modern Times?"
Ashwell, the article said, weathered the bankruptcy of her company "and embarked on a redux."

The re-invented Shabby Chic Brands developed a new business model that expanded the line to include moderately-priced collections to be sold nationwide.
In April 2010, Ashwell was one of 10 interior designers showcased on Oprah.com.
When Ashwell's home sold in July 2010 for $3.55 million, the Los Angeles Times covered the sale, describing Ashwell as "the creator of the Shabby Chic brand."
