Diary of a Decorator

From Buckingham Palace to Waterloo Station—one man’s journey through paint, progress, and postwar pride. In the years following WWII, Colin Douglas-Fairhurst transformed his father’s small decorating business into FWA, a national firm entrusted with some of Britain’s most iconic landmarks. Diary of a Decorator is a richly told memoir of craftsmanship, enterprise, and life’s many colours.
