The S-trap is right out.  But since you're adding wainscoting, and the
wall isn't load-bearing, can you open the wall and "adjust" the
framing so that the trap enters behind the pedestal and turns to meet
the existing stack?  This might have been what you meant by Option 2,
but it wasn't clear to me.  Or, you could "adjust" the stack to come
behind the pedestal.

Putting the trap in the floor sounds bad if there's a finished ceiling
below, otherwise it just sounds complicated.


Just thinking out loud...
