Carey,
I'm currently trying to incorperate some of your suggestions. Not much luck so far. I don't have great desire for halls but it seems no matter what I do I end up with the equivilent of a hall. I like the idea of relocating the laundry exterior door and letting it double as the carport side entry, if I can make it work. The 2 outside closets are the AC and water heater closets, so they have to exist somewhere. I'm trying to move the "Den" closet accross the room to the 2nd bathroom side, if I can make it work. I was hoping the space recovered by eliminating the extra entry at the laundry room would enable that, but it hasn't worked yet. Moving the "Den" closet would enable the "Master Bath" shower expansion. A linen closet is needed in the Master Bath somewhere. The little hallway leading to the "Master Bed" and "Master Bath" is necessary for when there are house guests and all partitioins are closed. That enables the "Master Bath" to function more properly as a common bath while retaining the privacy for the master bedroom.
David,
Yes, I am considering pocket doors. They don't quite provide the result I was desiring but they very well may be a necssary concession due to the expense of the doors I would really like.
Thanks for the comments. Hopefully I will eventually get to the point where I can turn it over to a pro.
