By overwhelming consensus, we have ourselves a winner! Thank you to everyone who cast a vote and shared very constructive advice, both on- and off-line.
In hindsight, it does seem a bit obvious, though I think I'll always wonder what it would have been like with stairs prominently running through the (narrow) livingroom and winding into the (narrow) bedroom...
design features:
- the floor-to-ceiling window on landing, banister, and bedroom door on same center line.
- 8' closet has a walk-in feel, creates bathroom buffer zone, and could be reconfigured (open into bedroom or passage into bathroom) without much trouble.
- relatively big bedroom with lots of available wall for furniture placement.
- location of bathroom fixtures may change as plumbing considerations are weighed.
yeah! i won. Ha. Good choice, and I really like the closet - bathroom - shower configuration. When's alll this gonna be done?

um...let's just say, in the grand scheme, we will refer to this time in the future as "before we started".
