Have you seen the happy yellow house bringing joy to the nation on Instagram?
This home is the little ray of much-needed sunshine we all need right now
While scrolling through Instagram, as we're all doing for hours at a time right now, I'm stopped in my tracks by a vision of sunshine yellow!
That vision of yellow comes courtesy of the bright yellow house of Brighton based blogger Charlotte Violet. She shares her vibrant home on her Instagram page @happyenchantedhome.

Even before the pandemic hit Charlotte felt her house exudes happy vibes. She shared a snap last September, writing ’Our house colour always cheers me up, especially with the darker days ahead. Vibrant colours really are the answer sometimes, especially living in central Brighton! A simple pot of paint isn’t to be underestimated, it can transform the exterior or interior of your house and give a room an instant refresh☀️’.
'Cheeriest photo on the gram I reckon! 💛' replies one follower.
We look forward to seeing what she paints next.
