We're not sure what it is, but we can't get enough of the delicate and feminine feel of doilies, lace and other see-through patterned things. We gathered some fun cutout pendant lights in case you can't get enough of it either...

Though not made of doilies or lace, these great cutout pendant lights still evoke the same fun feeling with patterns made out of metal, glass or natural fibers. Added to a space they not only give out plenty of light, they add a hint of mystery (you can sort of see the bulb and other inner workings of the light, but not quite!)
