A person with long blonde hair is seated on a stool against a muted green background reminiscent of a Scottsdale bungalow. They are wearing a black suit jacket over a lacy black dress and a turquoise pendant necklace. The person is smiling and has a relaxed posture with one hand resting on the stool, exuding effortless style.

Bungalow co-owner · Whole-home design

Meet Linda Criswell, Bungalow co-owner, longtime buyer and an ’80s alternative fan with an eye for the unexpected. After 25 years buying for the store, she has hundreds of sources at her fingertips and a love of rooms with personality.

Her idea of warm, modern design? Earthy color, art you love and pieces with a story. Your grandmother’s chair is welcome. So are your collections. Linda starts with the person who lives in the home, then brings that point of view from room to room. These days, her focus is whole-home projects: spaces that feel connected, personal and collected over time.

Linda likes a clear timeline, a trusting partnership and decisive clients. In her words: “Quick decision making is my love language.”
