And the fan is very dated, and would nice with some upgrade:

Boom, done. You don't even need a hub.
It's not a cheap, or easy solution, but here is what I did for my ceiling fan. First off, I am using Insteon smart devices. I don't see a lot of discussion about Insteon here, but I love it. I've pretty much replaced every switch in my house with Insteon. They sell their own smart hub, but I have an ISY994i from Universal Devices because is works with my security system.
So, on the the fan/light control. I bought/installed an Insteon fanlinc. which installs into the housing of the ceiling fan. With the FanLinc and a Smart hub you can control the fan speed and light with program logic, or your cell phone. But to control it from the wall, I installed an Insteon 6 button keypad dimmer and FanLinc button kit. The end result is a smart fan/light I can control with my phone and programming logic, but also has a nice keypad on the wall for setting the fan speed, etc.
Again, this is not a cheap option (especially if you have to buy the smart hub), but it works great!
OK.

way too many to choose from......
My wife is the same way. There's a constant gale-force wind blowing in our bedroom. We use a combination of ceiling fan and smaller fan.
For the ceiling fan, we use the Emerson Luxe Eco:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00719I2XA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mVwYAbHH5R5ZW
(liked it enough that we put one in our family room, too.) It has about six speeds, from low to Turboprop. They are a little expensive, but they move air pretty well, are efficient, and on highest speed, you only hear the fan blades cutting the air.
The smaller fan is a Vornado 533. It sits on the floor to one side of the bed (about 3 ft away from the bed and down towards the foot) and points toward her head. The Vornado is pretty directional, but it's pretty good at blowing in that direction.
came here to say the same thing. I have two of these installed in my house. I did however wire it a little bit different than the way it was stated in the manual. I wired the light directly to the 6 button dimmer and then linked the 4 middle buttons to off/low/med/high with the fanlinc

another option i considered but didnt actually pursue is the Aeotec micro dimmer that could be paired with a their wall swipe switch whenever it comes out.

Since the most wonderfull /u/Lauran2323 has summoned me, I'll list what I have in my place that I find super useful.
I have this in the kitchen, it holds the microwave and our champange and wine
I think it's a very cool tissue holder
You want this always readily available to you or a guest
Holds even more wine and double as a buffet in your dining room
Fans are huge if you want to save money by using an A/C less
Just to keep things organized on the fridge
It drives me nuts when people open letters like a christmas present
Also some sort of nice smelling candle - it'll make the place feel more like home.
As far as saving money - the urge to order out is immense. Try and cook as often as possible, it's cheaper and healthier. Except on Fridays. On Fridays you can eat pizza!!!!!!!
Personally, I wouldn't recommend a smart IoT ceiling fan. Just in case you switch it out later.
I'll be going with an insteon hub and this, it controls both the light and the fan

If you are worried about her bonking her head, go with a caged ceiling fan and supplement with a quality floor fan like a vornado when it gets really hot outside
I love this ceiling fan! It's really pretty and sleek.
This DVD/CD storage is cool! Especially if you don't have much room.
Thanks for the contest!
The best I've come up with for this scenario is to either:
Putting a roof rack on to disguise a good fan is a much better alternative to a sh!tty stealth fan. Another benefit of a roof rack with a solar panel for eg is that it creates some shade on the roof.
For internal air movement, I use one of these fixed to the roof, just behind the drivers seat.
https://www.amazon.com/Caframo-Sirocco-Gimbal-Speed-Black/dp/B002E3BHTY/
It moves a lot of air around, can be rotated 360deg, folded up out of the way, and is extremely quiet (although mine has a slight rattle at some angles due to fan blades being out of balance, which can be fixed by just trimming a little weight off one of the blades) They're expensive, but worth it IMHO. I've had other cheap ebay fans before, and they're either noisy, or broke.
There's a z-wave module to control a ceiling fan that doesn't come with a remote, but the Hampton Bay one is cheaper too. I always wanted to pick up the zwave one, but it didn't look like anyone ever tried one with a Wink.

Side note, one of my ceiling fans is the type that has all the buttons on the wall switch. Anyone know if there's a Wink replacement for that?
late reply, but, I'm concerned that it wouldn't work on something like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00067YOJ0 because of the cover?
Mostly concerned about there not being enough room, Lifx bulbs are huge.
Insteon makes a product for just this. Pair it with a 6 button controller and you’ll have separate control and speeds.

Hate to be the one...
You did a great job and it all looks fresh and new, except the fan... that fan is so '70s gotta replace that ASAP.
I bought this LED ceiling fan for my parents year ago, and it's pretty good http://www.amazon.com/Westinghouse-7247300-Two-Light-Reversible-Three-Blade/dp/B00C8C48P6/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1393815239&sr=8-11&keywords=ceiling+fan
Or you can get some quality LED ceiling lights like this http://www.lightingever.com/gu10-led-recessed-light-ww.html
I went with a lower profile, smaller ceiling fan:

I can still barely hit part of it (not the blades), but I have fairly low ceilings; it is a lot better than what I had before.
A ceiling fan for my tent. It's fantastically decadent

I'm using my Bond controller to dim my Hunter fan light right now. Works a treat. Been using it for months.
