{DIY Idea} Cork Lamp
When I saw this picture my first thought was that I really liked these lamps. My second thought was that these could be an easy DIY project. I would go about this project by going to Goodwill and picking up some old lamps. I’d start with a more simple lamp base than the one shown [...]
