This would work fine if you leave the NAS in the bedroom, connected to the router.
Leave the switch in the office connected to the things in the office.

Then add a pair of powerline adapters, one connected to the switch, one connected to the router, or you add one wireless bridge connected to the switch.

I think your best bet is the pair of powerline adapters (see my previous reply for the link.)
