Lighting Dilemma

I have an almost finished, newly decorated room (almost, but so much more to do). I had an idea to refurbish an old monkey lamp I had in a closet upstairs. Well that didn't go over to well with the gf's. I think my favorite word to describe the lamp was "creepy". So the hunt was on. I have been collection wine corks with the decorating idea to fill a glass hurricane vase. Well why not fill a glass display lamp with them? You would think finding a display lamp that was under $100 would be easy? Not so! I won't give up, I will find one! Until then I can just go ahead and collect more corks. That's the fun part!
