LL, another thing I did when I started this new position was to decorate everything in my cube in pink. Pink pencil cup, pink picture frames, pink post-its, pink bowl for paper clips, pink coffee cup. I like pink but I don't really LIVE pink like this at home...but I bought two pink sweaters and a pink shirt too. I read somewhere that the color pink makes people view the pink thing (or the thing/person surrounded by pinkness) as soft and approachable. I wanted to be sure they thought I was approachable and warm. Of course, all my pink things are professional, not cute.

It worked. A friend from my old department visited me after I'd been here a while and commented, "You know, you've really changed!" I hadn't changed an iota, I'm serious. It was just the pink decor--it made me LOOK different.
