I agree going the X-10 route is the easiest. The basic units are available at Radio Shack and probably some other retail outlets, otherwise

One thing I found with the X10's I'm using is if there is insufficient load the controller will not work correcty ==> flickers or won't come on. Solution is a heavier load: in your case two or more lamps per control.
BTW, if for some reason you want to turn on a light on an X-10 just turn it off and then on at the lamp's switch.
