I am in the infancy stages of building/planning to build a house (I already have the land) and I have a good base for that I think I would like, however I am not sure if the different design styles would mesh well. I am looking at a house like pic related often called "French Country style" homes, however for my interior I would like a cabinesque style interior, using no sheetrock or plaster and using only tongue and groove wood paneling. Would these two design styles mesh well? Or would they look retarded? Its a huge step in my life and perhaps I am over thinking it.

Hope you have extremely mild weather year round. That much glass, increasing the volume of the room by forgoing a ceiling and all those cold bridges means you basically cannot heat or cool it. There's a reason those old timer designs worked and why they don't work now. They worked in cooler climates because they had unlimited free wood.

I don't see why you couldn't keep that place warm with modern materials. Add some glass wool and use double/triple pane windows and you should be fine. I live in Norway and some of the modern wood+glass buildings like this actually have more of an issue with overheating during summer.

I live (basically own as I am the only child of my parents) on a 300 acre farm, not only will there be no shortage of wood for me to burn but I plan on using wood as my main heat source. My father has always heated with wood and it feels so much better than any other type of heat.
