But then people often look at me and laugh as if I\u2019m mad, because if that\u2019s the case, how do I make ends meet? It\u2019s very simple \u2013 we make ends meet because we sell, but we don\u2019t sell in the sense of a \u2018hard sell\u2019. Now, I\u2019m not very good at English and certainly not when it comes to the theory, but you can interpret the verb \u2018to sell\u2019 in two ways. One way is that you can, in a manner of speaking, sell a brick as if it were gold. And the other way is to make a brick into gold which sells itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The latter is what happens in our case, as we always do our utmost to create the most beautiful thing possible and then we\u2019re so full of it that we just want to shout from the rooftops. This works well enough for us to continue doing what we enjoy. Recently, as well as making cupboards, tables, lamps and small items, we have started to create whole buildings. You\u2019d think that something like that would really be worth shouting about from the rooftops, but shouting from the rooftops on the Internet seems more effective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RFbuilding<br \/><\/strong><strong><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7965\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/134FE20150927D0027p-2-e1476362470492.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"325\" \/><br \/><\/strong>Photography: Thomas Mayer<\/p>\n<p><strong>The new green houses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19752\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3251.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3251.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3251-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Treetrunk house<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19756\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1e-schets-700px-Schoon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1e-schets-700px-Schoon.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1e-schets-700px-Schoon-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To whom a real work of <strong>Hansje van Halem<\/strong>\u00a0is a bit too much, we now also have wrapping paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19758\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/PHE_Inpakpapier-opmaak-700px.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/PHE_Inpakpapier-opmaak-700px.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/PHE_Inpakpapier-opmaak-700px-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These\u00a0<strong>Old window closets<\/strong> are ready to be shipped to Russia!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19762\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC_4865-700px.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC_4865-700px.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC_4865-700px-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC_4865-700px-682x1024.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/en\/news\">&lt;&lt; back to news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24-12-2014 I often joke that we\u2019re really bad at selling, and it\u2019s true!
