I made the nail table, trash can is a coffee creamer with tissue paper for bag. I made packs of hair from hair hanging on the wall. nail polish bottles are beads with a straw for the brush. I made the fan, I made the trolley cart with all the items, curlers made from straws, bobby pins from paper clips, tissue paper from real tissue paper. the cabinet with the coffee machine has a built in refrigerator, coffee machine was made from a piece of wood with beads for the knobs. paper towel holder I made. the mirror is from a compact. the washer and dryer was made from printies I cut out the front to be able to put laundry inside.
