you can move the thermostats your self....junction the 18-2 were it is if you can't get it to the source and then snake another 18-2 to were you want the thermostat...it is a small wire and low voltage...you could take of the baseboard in some places and snake it around that...also they make cove heaters which are up high away from little hands they are electric and have their own thermostat on the wall.......for this you would have to add another circuit probably because the two bedrooms are on their own..circuit.... good luck....
