I don't think I find one item in a thousand of your renders that I don't like, but I do think that this one feels a bit too skewed.
Just a quickie transform in Photoshop, but it feels more natural to me. Nevertheless, your environment (color, trees etc.) and composition/framing is absolutely stunning - as usual.

These are all pretty enough to frame and hang on the wall! Very nice indeed, Tom.
Take care,

I don't know if anyone's considering Painter X, but:

This is the commercial version at a pretty reasonable price ($169.95).
Hope this helps,

It's looking really good! I'm hoping you keep progressing - it's always nice to see models of something unarchitectural...
John S.
I have to agree - that's really nice modelling. I also like the design a ton.
Thanks for sharing,

Simply stunning work, Tom! Your presentation certainly gives a "warm fuzzy" to me. I would think the style would really help sell the concept.
Thanks again for sharing,
John S.

can be uv-mapped properly in sketchup ...
Not exactly in SU, but:
UVMapper is a freeware Windows and Macintosh utility for UV mapping and texturing 3D models
(www.uvmapper.com)
The Classic version is free, and it's pretty straightforward. I'm just trying it out for pillows and cushions in another application, but if I like it and bite for the Pro version I'll post the results and give some feedback.
http://www.robinwood.com/Catalog/Technical/Gen3DTuts/UVMapperTut/UVMapper1-1.html is a decent tutorial showing the simplicity of the interface.
Hope this helps,
