Default putting mirrored glass in an old window

I want to have mirrored glass put in an old window frame to hang inside the house.
Has anyone done this and where do you get mirrors put in?

Try a glass shop, they should be able to do. I have used them before on that. Hope that helps.

I have done it several times. Actually very easy. Any glass shop and most hardwares can cut glass. You can even get it cut at Lowes or Home depot. The way I do it is to remove the old glass from the window and clean away all old putty. Measure the opening and buy a piece of mirror 1/8" smaller that the opening. Lay the frame flat and lay the mirror into the opening being careful to center it. Run bath tub caulk all the way around the frame and mirror joint area making sure to fill in the 1/8" gap. Let it harden 24 hours. The caulk makes it stronger and stops any rattling. Have fun.
