Believe it or not, i wash sleeping bags and comforters in my tiny Bosch Axxis. The front loaders can hold a lot more than you think. I did a demo when I bought the Bosch and they had 17 towels stitched together at the store. Me and my friend, who ended up buying the same machine, were shoving those towels in there and could not believe it. This was a while ago (5 years ago) and people didn't think the tiny 23" X 23"X 33" machine would hold more than a towel. It can wash comforters AND sleeping bags. Even a Northface polyfill one, which are notorious for not getting wet. Go to an appliance store and start shoving a sleeping bag or a comforter in the washers and see what fits. Seriously. It sounds crazy but I'm so happy I did. I was switching from a super capacity top loader, so I could wash anything in it. I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting stuck with a tiny little machine that could only wash hand towels. I think Snyder Diamond and other high end places even have things like the towel demo sometimes. It's good to know where you are going to dump some serious cash!!

I have Diamond cabinets, the ones with soft close as standard, and they've held up perfectly in a heavily trafficked galley kitchen for the past year (a painted finish that has survived multiple games of soccer in the kitchen!) We got them through a kitchen shop, not Lowes, but when I've been to Lowes, they have the same style, just with a different name. I looked at a range of other lower-cost options: a sample cabinet from Barker in walnut as well as several sample doors seemed beautiful and solid. I also got sample doors from Cliq which were very splotchy in their stains; also the one painted finish I ordered as a sample scratched with almost no effort. There have been positive and very negative reviews about Cliq on GW; I think Barker has only received kudos. For someone like me - with no time, space or skills to actually assemble cabinets - Diamond was a great alternative.

You can use a neutral paint color in the main area of the home and colors in the bedrooms and bathrooms rather than have a single color for all walls in the entire home. I am not sure why anyone would select trim color before wall color, but you have selected White Dove. It is a nice neutral creamy (slightly yellow, grayish) off white, so now you need to select wall color based on both your desired outcome and the trim color plus any items that must stay. (Like this bed). I would probably go with a blue/blue green color. To make the White Dove feel white you will need a bit more color, not the lightest pastels. I would start with Benjamin Moore Beach Glass. I looked at Quiet Moments as well and love it with the bed, but I think the Beach Glass works better with the White Dove.

Yea, not much you can do but what's been said above. I used to put our king size blankets, comforters, duvets, quilts, etc...in the bathtub and stomp on them with my feet for a while, let soak for an hour, then let the water out and rinse, with more stomping on them. We've since moved down to a queen bed and things fit in our Speen Queen top loader now. I have plenty of laundromat experiences, but armjim is right--the gross things people wash at the laundromat...plus our laundry always came back with the unpleasant smell of other people on it. Eww. I still take pillows there (not during covid) to be washed, but I chemical bomb them there and dry the #%$& out of them on mega hot at home for hours. Still not ideal, but it's either that or replace pillows every few months. But if you have a well maintained laundromat, it can be a good experience. Sorry this happened to you. I hope your beloved GE washer is alright.
