Could you just attach a curtain rod to the ceiling that would close off each bed for privacy?

Make the closet into a private hang out. You could simply put some big pillows on the floor or a bean bag chair... maybe a bookshelf.

Create a private space somewhere else in the house for your dd/ds to go when they want to be alone.

Talked to my mother and her husband. He has really taken to this issue and drawn up some plans to turn the larger master into two rooms. They're suppose to do this in a month. I'm super excited about this. Smaller rooms is okay by me. And will actually, hopefully work to my advantage during a sale, eventually. Even though the rooms will be smaller, it will be the only 3 bedroom. And this will hopefully make up the difference between what I owe and what things are selling for. 

I have to make a few decisions, like weather to give up the "master suite" in exchange for a closet in the 3rd bedroom. If I give up the master suite, whether or not to close off the separate entrance to the bathroom.

When I was growing up,my father divided one room into two for my brother and me.He just used sheets of smooth plywood standing upright and held in place by a u -shaped channel top and bottom. Half round molding covered the joints .It took up less space than a regular partition and was easily removed.Also think if there is a way to configure things so both of the new bedrooms can access the "master " bath.You would then use the other bath as yours.

We have loft beds for our oldest boy (almost 6) and girl (10). They have shared for a year and a half. They have pretty high railings, so we've never had one fall out. There is a lot of room underneath for playing privately, we hung curtains around the bottom. We have also tacked about hanging curtains from the cd ing to enclose the whole bed, I saw an awesome pic of Pinterest of that.
But really, we mostly all end up together at the dining table, or they play outside.

Saw this today and thought of you! Seems like it would work well in your space. (The top photo). Maybe you don't need to renovate??
