I found this old mirror at the food bank thrift today for three bucks.  It is in desperate need for some new paint, I don't know what's up with the green squiggles someone put on the front, but it will be cool when repainted.  I always wanted one of these three panel mirrors.  i was hoping to put it in the fireplace, since it is not a working fireplace anyway, but I think it may be too wide.

Awesome find.  The green squiggles were likely someone's attempt to do some decorative painting on the thing to clas it up.  Should have left it plain.  Nice enough as it is.

Thanks!  I am looking forward to getting it painted, hopefully this week. It does fit in my fireplace too so I can use it with some candles infront of it.  I got lucky this weekend with two more mirrors.  One is on an old metal medicine cabinet, it has a nice etched design and was two bucks at a nursing home sale.  I also got a beautiful oval vintage etched wall mirror at a benefit yard sale for $6. Those sell for $50+ online so that was a good deal. Mirrors are expensive in general so I love finding good ones at thrifts or yard sales.
