What passage in Walker's "Everyday Use" explains the meaning of the title?

Just to
continue from the above answer, Dee sees the quaint belongings of her old home as
decorations.  This is superfluous in the context of the story.  The
family uses these things for everyday use.  The items are not
antiques to the people who live in the home and use them daily.  In a larger context, Dee is
representative of the "new" black woman, what people think black women should be or
become.  The mother and Maggie are what they are, and Walker in the story suggests that they
have their own form of dignity and it may well be superior to that of Dee.
