Actually, this is valid.
The first definition of "furnish" from the dict-gcide package is:
1. To supply with anything necessary, useful, or appropriate;
to provide; to equip; to fit out, or fit up; to adorn; as,
to furnish a family with provisions; to furnish one with
arms for defense; to furnish a Cable; to furnish the mind
with ideas; to furnish one with knowledge or principles;
to furnish an expedition or enterprise, a room or a house.
See also e.g. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/furnish for
online-dictionary definitions.
Although the sense related to providing furniture for a room is the more
common usage nowadays, it is in fact secondary to the sense related to
providing anything with "anything necessary, useful, or appropriate".
