IMO, the master bathroom is too small. 30" for a toilet (the minimum allowed) and 30" a vanity is tight even for a guest bath. Your closet is huge proportionally. I would take at least 2 feet from the closet to add to the toilet and vanity space (48" vanity and a 36" space for the toilet) because I would much rather be cramped in a closet than feel cramped in the bathroom. You could also take a few inches from the shower. 5' 34" showers are very common and plenty of room if you are not a large person.

I like the larger bathroom, but I think the doors conflict and it is nice to have them open into the closet. I'd do a good pocket door into the bathroom to avoid more conflict although it could open against the wall next to the sink. You do loose more closet storage, but corners aren't all that valuable in a closet. You could fit a lot of clothes in there by double hanging rods. That would save some money over the Pax system. Plus your closet now seems more separate from the bathroom by extending the wall. Here is another idea for the main bath. My daughter has stacked washer and dryer and is short, but uses the arrangement well. You have plenty of room in front of the W/D to get clothes in and out. The toilet is off to the side. The vanity could be 72 inches with 2 sinks. The bonus is the door would open up against the tub and the room would feel more open. The laundry would be easily accessible without the bathroom door being in the way. Folding laundry in the laundry room is overrated. I had a nice space for folding laundry in our 1 st house with a window to look out. I usually took the laundry to the TV area and sat down on the floor to fold.

Thanks for the additional comments! There really is no room to make the door wider as the 2 closets are adjacent to the bathroom (basically there is a short hall from the bedroom with walk-in closets on each side. The bathroom door is basically as wide as that hall will allow (given 3.5" trim on either side of the door). I'm not sure about removing the water closet - guessing my husband would not approve :). However, I will not rule it out. I just would not want it to negatively affect resale down the road (all houses in the neighborhood have the water closet). I actually have a vanity mirror attached to the wall from the previous owners - I really don't wear a lot of makeup so don't really use it. Mascara, blush, eye shadow - that's it! I"m torn about the free-standing versus drop-in tub. I really love the look of the free-standing but I'm leaning towards the drop-in due to the various pros/cons listed in various threads. Thanks!

Practically speaking, I prefer layout 1. I can't see having 2 water closets in one bathroom, and that also cuts down on the size of the shower. I prefer the free-standing bath being against a wall, rather than in the middle of the room, where there's no place to place products or towels. I also think the split sinks/vanities give people more privacy, than having them sinks side-by-side. Layout 1 also takes advantage of that large window, providing light to the entire room, not enclosed in the shower.
