I believe Arthur said the chair was taken out, once when someone asked about it after having seen it in the youtube video about VF. I could be completely wrong, but maybe it's the same situation with the hair brush?
I have also noticed in the image files a 'light bulb'... but never seen it used in game. I think it is on the table in the laundry room however.
I'm not sure why, if these things have been "taken out" of the game, they would still be in the image files though. So I'm not sure...
