Have a look on ebay for stickarounds - I got some on there last year much cheaper than in the shops.

As for web sites, if you search for under the sea images on google you should get some good ideas.

Failing that try and get hold of a finding nemo book, trace and enlarge the images from there?

You can make a sea wall hanging from bits of leftover fabric

I am using the secret seahorse as inspiration ( ds is 19 months and will be moving into a bigger room soon he is also getting an undersea themed room)

that is a jungle one but you'll get the idea.

Hi, I used the dinosaur prints from this company for my sons bedroom and they are lovely. They are not stickers, you put them up with wall paper paste. Depending on the size of the room you may get away with one or two sheets, (I think they were £10 ish per sheet) and some hand painted seaweed etc. Enjoy decorating, I love doing my kids rooms, so much more fun than painting the bathroom which I'm doing now:p

I did the railway Frieze Frame in my sons room, and he was chuffed to bits with it

They are lovely, we ordered three sheets for my sons room and ended up with loads left over which we laminated and he plays with.

Dunelm Mill also had a shark laundry hamper, at £3.99? I bought it myself, as it is pretty cool. It looks like it is jumping out of water, and it's mouth opens for the kid to put there laundry in. It pops up, so it folds flat if not in use, and i thought it could fit light toys in instead of laundry if it wasn't being carried about.

I was also looking at an under the sea room that was part of an IKEA display, and it had long streamers hanging down from a pole, with cuddly toys like crabs attatched to it. These toys were very cheap as well in IKEA.

I suppose you could do something similar with fish designs on card.

Although on 2nd thoughts, maybe an 18 month old would be attracted to that too much and try to pull it down. Perhaps more suitable for an older child.

Wow! Dare I say that I like the walls best?
You've made an excellent job of it - I wish I was more artistic/creative. I am getting there thanks to the OS board - thanks for sharing the piccies.
