Short stories work with description. In a short story, more description is often better then less. But in a full length novel, with a complete story to tell, I don't think it's such a good idea. There is no easy way (without making the novel horribly long and tedious) to include plot development, character development, and still have loads upon loads of description. It's not feasable. You need enough description to make the setting realistic and have depth in the readers mind, but going overboard wont get your story anywhere.
