yes
you can create new elements using the family editor or you can change the atributs of the existent library.

But it seems that you are limited to the parametric objects that come with Revit or some that may be downloaded, but if you want a particular piece of furniture, eg, desk, cabinet you can't simply draw it in 3D and use it

When you use the Revit OPEN command, make sure you visit the WEB LIBRARY located on the button in the upper right corner of the dialog box....tons of furniture, equipment, with a high level of detail.
or use this link
http://revit.autodesk.com/library/html/index.html
Tip: On each page of components, there is a filing cabinet icon in the upper right corner of the webpage. If you pick the filing cabinet button, you can download a zip file that contains all of the objects on that page...some zip files are 16MB - 26MB in size...tons of realistically detailed architectural components.
The Revit family editor is pretty cool as a parametric solid modeler....it allows you to create variations of your furniture or equipment in one file.
We sometimes use contract furniture manufacturers' 3D furniture from their websites/CD and "Revitize them" from AutoCAD 3D blocks into Revit Families. The benefit of turning it into a Revit family is I can add parameters that allow me to create Revit schedules (furniture, equipment, ) based on the parameters assigned to the component.
I've posted some other suggestions on my blog site: www.taylor-tech.com/danielhughes
I have an Archive button at the bottom of the main blog page.
