Pair of Mirrors

I was at a thrift store recently and found a beautiful wood framed mirror. I purchased the mirror and then set it aside to work on later. The next week I was out thrift store shopping again and found a matching mirror! I'm not sure what the odds of that lucky find are, but you better believe I did a happy dance right there in the store!
Below is the first mirror that I found.
And here it is with the second mirror!
The mirrors and frames were in great shape, but they were both quite dirty. The photo below shows some of the grime remaining after two scrubbing sessions. Yuk. I continued scrubbing until the surface was clean and ready for paint.
I chose a color scheme of Paris Grey and Old White (Annie Sloan Chalk Paint) and gave both a slightly weathered finish. The paint was sealed with soft wax.
I think the mirrors would work well hung side-by-side, but they would also work well hung together in a corner to create an infinity mirror which would work quite nicely for a dressing area.
