This month on "DHS Cribs," we are taking a look into the amazing room of junior Helen Robinson, whose walls portray the colorful signatures and images left by her closest friends. The Robinsons moved into the house last summer and plan on eventually tearing it down, so Helen decided to have some fun and let her friends decorate her room!
"I love all the drawings that my friends have done on my walls. My favorite is the mural my brother did on my wall at four in the morning of everyone I went with on a trip to Navajoland in the summer, and it always makes me laugh!"
I started painting this mural when we first bought the house but then one of my friends came over and asked to help so from then on I just let everyone else write on my walls.
"I like hats! I started finding cool ones in the beginning of the year and one of my friends particularly liked it when I wore hats on the weekends, so I just decided to have my own collection."
I usually put random things around my mirror, but they are all pretty important to me. The purple ribbon is from the horse show I mentioned, and the green Buddha is from a trip I went on in the summer to Navajoland. The varsity letter on the wall is from field hockey, and I can?t wait for next season!
"That's a flag from the Bahamas. Our family goes there almost every year, so it's a place I've always loved."
"I've been riding horses for about 11 years. I lease a horse from my trainer named Ruby, and compete throughout the year. I haven?t really won any big trophies but I got fifth place at Connecticut finals last year out of more than 100 people which was pretty cool!"
"More of my friends graffiti artwork. Check out the giant woman with words blended together to draw her hair and lots of tats on her arms. Junior Kat Nestor's random scramblings really stand out amongst the colors and chaos."
