Now is this normal? Are handles for drawers,cabinets and so on something TV don't install ever.
Since we have seen many properties prior to purchase have never taken the time to check this out from Premier, Designers, etc homes.

When building in Central NY, bought and installed my own knobs after trying "no-knobs" (also known as pulls) for 6 months. As someone else pointed out, we tend to remove the finish from the doors with repeated contact at a certain opening point on the door.
No knobs gives a cleaner neater late 90's look to the cabinets. However, we selected knobs for our designer 4 years ago (was an option), and again for our second home that we moved to 3 years ago. Design input was still an option for our second home. Even with our own choices both times, there were still items that were missed and we would have done different. Believe me, those were 3-4 stress filled days for each home, sometimes lasting until early evening with the design people. Leaving very little time for "happy hour". Everything was a choice beyond the basic structure. It included roof lines, shingles choices and everything in the interior from appliances to ceiling textures to corners, paint choices, cabinets. You name it, everything inside the shell including windows, insulation, window sills, etc. Now you see why we needed an extended "happy hour".
Having said all that, it should be pointed out that we have seen many "spec-houses" that incorporate everything we would ever want at less stress. Have the wife convinced that we won't move again. At least she has me believing that.
