Would something like this work? More closet space. Shower length might be 54 inches depending on exact measurements.

Overwhelmed by all the responses here -- thank you SO much everyone! This community is incredible. Trying to get back to every single message: Mark Bischak, Architect - A mockup is a brilliant idea. I'll put down some painters tape and get a better feel for the space. I really think AR/VR would be so powerful for floorplan visualization. I did think about accessing via closet, nice to have that separation from the bedroom for when only one of us is getting ready. But the boss nixed that one. Gas chamber I am still 50/50 on. Karenseb - I just measured, and a 36" width shower is plenty large. I like the idea of a two-person shower, but just big enough to where we are comfortable but don't sacrifice the ability to get nice steam build-up. Your second message with the floorplan is very interesting. Two closets and a more usefully dimensioned bathroom would be fantastic. I will run this by my architect. Thank you!!! Susan Davis - Lots of fun to be had!! Good point about the door that pushes in, I think that is ideal as well. North Texan - Thanks for the description, I will try to re-create based on your vision and post an update. Love, love the skylight. Of course moisture and energy efficiency loss, but natural light is a must. Virgil Carter Fine Art - That is a huge concern. What is a comfortable amount of aisle space for two to be in the bathroom? I think mocking up with tape will be very helpful here. Mrs Pete - I am searching for the floorplan that makes a 'WOW!' when you walk in. Yes, I agree, single hinge opening towards the wall would be ideal. We want to do shelves and a pull-out hamper in the 18"-24" ceiling height cabinet. Without the toilet room and making any major modifications to the master suite, this is my favorite floorplan as well. Karenseb's design is very interesting to me as well. shead - Thanks for the input on the shower. I agree; it's too large and will be both a pain to clean and will not be as steamy as we'd like. Not to mention, if it spans the entire wall, we only have one side of glass. A second side of glass will make it feel more open.

A quick update....we did it! The plumber still needs to do the last little bit but everything is done! We gutted everything to the studs and subfloor. Decided to take out the closet after all so that we could fit the double vanity and the tub. This left a weird little space at the end of the tub. So instead of a full wall, because it would have blocked part of the window, we opted for a pony wall. We'll have a glass panel installed on top with a shower curtain rod rather than a glass door. Pretty excited! And looking forward to adding some floating shelves over the toilet, some greenery and perhaps a custom bathmat from Etsy I have my eye on.

I'd go with option 2. 8' is wide enough to have tub and vanity across from each other. And it gives you larger vanity and shower, and has less wasted space.
