Tennis Ball on Pink Canvas Print

Tennis Ball on Pink Canvas PrintWhat's the home gym missing? Soft pink with some nerve. A loose, hand painted tennis ball sits front and centre, bright yellow green against a calm pink ground. It brings instant warmth and a small dose of humour to a room that often plays it too safe. Hang it above a bench, a treadmill, a kids' desk or a hallway shoe rack anywhere that could use a lift. It works beside pale wood, painted plywood, woven baskets and simple cotton textiles. Skip it if
