Not jo mama's Piggly-Wiggly

Arizona designer Georgia Bates converted a dilapidated space that once housed a 1920s grocery store in downtown Phoenix into a home that she filled with a collection of Mexican antiques, art and artifacts, combined with modern pieces. The faded concrete floors are original to the building. 










She also turned a 1929 bungalow on the property into her design studio.

Aren't you just lovin' those perfectly worn and imperfect concrete floors? I love the shot of the bathroom!

  1. Would love to know where this is! I grew up in downtown Phx in a grocery store. I am sure it's not ours but I may know where it is. Interesting.

  2. Oh, that is so cool! Maybe you can figure out where. We always played grocery store when we were kids. You got to play in the real thing - LLUVIT!
