I've been using powerline ethernet at home for a little while now and
I'm very happy with it. You could bridge your wireless access points
over your power lines.

They cost about £35 each for a one port device, and the ones with a 4
port ethernet switch (and the 5th interface is the powerline interface)
cost about £70.
