While DIY can be fun, I prefer to buy a finished product when there's a solution readily available... Especially when dealing with home wiring. When faced with a similar problem (big room, wanted to control multiple lights without pulling wires), I used an Insteon battery operated remote switch: https://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2342-242-mini-remote-switch.html https://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2342-242-mini-remote-switc... ($42) And an inline switch module that went up in the ceiling light housing: https://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2443-222-micro-on-off-module.html https://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2443-222-micro-on-off-modu... ($49) And a couple plug in lamp modules: https://www.smarthome.com/lamplinc-insteon-2457d2-plug-in-lamp-dimmer-module-dual-band-2-pin.html https://www.smarthome.com/lamplinc-insteon-2457d2-plug-in-la... ($39) One advantage of the off the shelf products is that they are all UL approved for the use, so if it catches fire and burns my house down, I don't have to prove that it wasn't my fault.
