Other things you could add to the waterfall-as many light blue, dark blue, and
clear plates and round plates as you can get your hands on. I recently
experimented with this technique, and it worked quite well. The occasional light
grey or dark grey plate could be thrown in as a 'rock' in the river.

Check your local TRU. most of the WW sets are on clearance for less than $30
now.
Personally, my favorite touch was the fireplace. Nothing thrills me as much as
seeing a perfectly good space piece go to waste in a castle. ;-) (After
all...castle theme is just there to be used as parts for space junkies like
myself)
Have a good one...
