Amy uses baskets—loads and loads of them—for toys, hardware, you name it. She admits to an almost fanatical obsession with organization. "Even as a child, I begged my parents to let me clean the closets!" she reveals.
For the walls throughout her home, Amy's love for classic white-on-white interiors prompted friends to ask, "You let children in here?" (Answer: Of course. The couple has three: Lexi, 9; Tucker, 7; and Dawson, 3.)
In this photo: Amy slipcovered Lexi's headboard in gossamer linen from Bella Notte; the duvet cover is homemade. At the foot of the bed, a tufted bench provides a place to sit.
Bathroom
The Muellers' East Coast sensibility did cause occasional communication breakdowns. "For the bathroom, we kept referring to 'subway tiles,'" Amy recalls. "Our installer had no idea what we were talking about. He knew them as '3 x 6 tiles.'" Later, she received blank stares when uttering the words guesthouse and mudroom: "In Arizona, those spaces are called casita and dirty kitchen."

Garage
At Christmas, all bets are off when it comes to Santa. Lately, the kids have been lobbying for a puppy and a batting cage (budding athlete Tucker dreams big). But how does Amy-the-organizer cope with the present-ripping, stocking-dumping chaos that is Christmas morning? "Baskets," she says. "I put out lots of baskets."
In this photo: The Mueller kids make a bit of merry mischief in the garage, at a salvaged cabinet their mom modernized by removing doors and adding bins. The paper dispenser came from an old general store.
