If you do not need the linen closet next to the Master bath shower, why not make that whole area a wide shower of 4 to 5 foot. The corner showers are only great if that is the space you have (used to have to use one whie diving in an aquarium, hard to get a wet suit off in those corner models....and definately only for one person - not alot of elbow room). The new 5' showers with built in seats are really nice. You don't have a closet door... I would take out some of the hallway areas (esp around the master bed/bath), unless you like halls. They are expensive sq. footage with no use if you don't need them (unless you like halls, then they have a use). The master closet has a sq corner into the bath (with no door into the closet). You can angle off that corner to give more wiggle room in the bath.
The other area is the laundry & bath area. You have a lot of doors there. You could combine the laundry & bath (both have blank walls on one side).
Another sep. idea. I am guessing that the back hall goes out to the car area (based on the exterior closets). You could have your mud room hall/laundry out to the car area & save walking around to the mud room sink....move things around & you can gain footage in the den, or even have enough sq ft to add a 1/2 bath....
This is the time to have fun.... you can even build scrap cardboard mock ups & see what you like, just like when you were a kid!
