THEIR OWN SPACE The Goldrings, a family in Pacific Palisades, Calif., created an indoor-outdoor cabana-style pool house for their two teenage daughters and their daughters’ friends with daybeds for sleepovers, a bath and shower, and a roof deck. 
For past couple of months I and my husband have been discussing what we can do to create a space for our teenage kids where they can entertain. It went so far that we even considered building a new house.

Julia Buckingham Edelmann, a Chicago interior designer, said that over the last few years she has seen a large increase in clients who want to decorate and design spaces for their teenage children, and a concurrent decline in interest in the multipurpose great room. “There are dedicated spaces for everything” these days, she said — the home gym, the home spa — “so it makes sense that there is the teen space.”
In her observation"kids now enjoy entertaining like their par

i think you need to dedicate a whole new area for your wonderful children. i think you should pamper them, especially your daughter laura she sounds adorable.

I don’t think you should move house, unless it’s somewhere else in the gap! I believe that having an area for the teens is a fantastic idea. I feel that my house lacks the area/ room to entertain even a few people which really discourages me from inviting my friends over even for a simple BBQ. Greg and Laura are very lucky to have such wonderful caring parents!
