I found a couple antique mirrors this evening at the local thrift store. I had a bunch of stuff in the back of the car that I had put there yesterday evening to take to them. So DH told me today I needed to mail our Netflix DVD and to go by the thrift store and take that stuff I had in the back of the car. I was like, OK. lol So anyway did all that and found these mirrors. I think the very same person must have had these that had the dresser I bought last week because it was ALSO covered in cat hair and spider webs. Here they are before I wiped and cleaned them up. Quite a difference with them after they are cleaned up. I think I am going to put one maybe two of them over my dresser.
I think I am going to paint them the country white to match my dresser. They are wood and the paint is flaking off pretty bad. On the back they had a sticker and it said Permaflect Mirror, J.A. Olson Company Winona, Mississippi. Oh I haven’t said what I gave for them yet have I? ;) 16.00 for BOTH of them. They are mega heavy to.

Oh, I love the mirrors! They will look great with your other stuff!
You will be proud of me. At the Salvation Army last week I found a brand new, never written in devotional book with pages for notes by Beth Moore. It is called "New Every Morning" and lists for $12 plus shipping on the LPM website. Guess what I paid? 25 cents! I was tickled!
Take care!

Great mirrors! Cleaning them up makes a huge difference, but I think they will look beautiful painted. Have a great week!
Isn't it amazing what a little elbow grease will do! You will have to post pics of them after you paint them :)

We just inherited a similar mirror from a sister-in-law. 24x36 in size. Golden paint is chipping also. Beautiful mirror. Can't help but think you got a heck of a deal on yours.
PLEASE don't paint these mirrors. They are 1960's Hollywood Regency and are worth *a lot more* if they are in original condition. Great find!!
I've got a J.A. Olson mirror. Paint is still in excellent condition, about the size of those 2 mirrors, only mines a rectangle. Wondering what the value is on one of these mirrors???
