The first thing I was excited about was some organization I got done. I found a bunch of bins at Target to organize the minor holiday decor. (I already have red and green totes for Christmas and an orange and black one for Halloween!)
Then I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up a pack of cute patterned paper tags and a pack of white tags that are slightly smaller to paste on the front to create cute labels!
Husband decided he didn't like our garage walls. The back wall is shown below and the side walls were just bare wood - you can slightly see it on the left side of the photo next to the bicycles. The black part is where a garage door to the backyard would go if we decide to put one in.
He decided to make the garage one of his summer projects and I have to admit, it does look a lot better with a coat of paint!
I've also done a lot of cleaning out our clothes that we don't wear and/or don't fit, and I dropped a humongous bag of clothes and shoes off at the thrift store already, with two more bags in the closet to be dropped this week! Husband asked if I'm getting rid of clothes to appease the thrift store gods so I can continue to get good deals ;) hey, it's not a bad idea...
When we build our first house, my husband was adamant that the garage didn't need to be painted. Because it was "his space", I let him make the final decision. Not two months after the completion of our first house, he wants to paint the garage. Again, not a lot of work but just funny how people change their mind. But I agree, the garage looks much better painted. It looks like a complete room instead of a shed. Good post.

Well done on the garage. Great idea of your husband to aid the thrift gods. Maybe you will get great deals in the future. My garage is getting a new coat of paint which I have been putting off for very long now. Things will be getting better in the future though when my sons come and help out.
