need a little help

[ykp53]

okay i know that this is not what is normally asked on this board but.... in order to fund my addiction i am a architect. i have designed a pediatric wing for a hospital where the theme is a beach/ fish area the hospital has now decided that they will not allow a actual aquarium, so i have to fill the void where one was designed to be. is it visible from both side so, i was thinking hanging stuffed toy nemo's ect. and fake coral on a sand bed. my office says it will look cheesy. what are yalls thought? any ideas? where is the best place to get fake decorations? thanks for your help

Is it a children's hospital? If not, I think I'm with the office on the cheese.

You could do all stuffed fish like "Nemo", "Dory", crabs,gulls,etc. To keep the effect I would try to make the aquascape stuffed or cartoonlike. This would be the challenge, but would keep from being "cheesy looking" The Fake corals might clash with the stuffed animals, but not sure. I know they make a foam that can be shaped, used on floats, that would give the look of make-believe or more suttle of a transition. Just some thoughts.
