My Cushions Went From Orange To Green~

I originally thought that the orange on these decorative cushions would just naturally turn beige right?  It just seemed right to me, but what I got was far more beautiful than I ever thought.  I was going to place these in our master bedroom, but they looked so much better in our den with the green stripe in the drapes and the small hints of green through out the room.
Here is what they looked like before, oh by the way I bought these at my favorite thrift store ($2.00ea.) brought them home washed them and now this is what they look like:

                      The flocking in these pictures look brown rather than the orange they "were".

                                                    Here they look a bit more orange.

Are you astonished?  Hee Hee!  I sure am I was so not expecting them to turn out this color of bright vibrant green.  I do not normally use bleach in our home.  We try and try hard to not use any chemicals, but I had this bleach pen for sometime now & I so wanted the cushions to be a different color that I gave it a try. I only worked while the angels were in school & I put them away in a room where they do not enter as I worked on them, it took a few man hours to do this & after I was finished  washed them in vinegar.  I just LOVE~LOVE the color~What do you think?
I want to rearrange the den & I will do that Monday so that will be my next post so that you can see the whole room put together.

Thank You & Many Blessings~
