I'm reading The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters. The narrator went to visit a woman's nice colourful house and compared it with his own cabin:
"The inside of the house was small but bright, lived in and happy. So unlike my cabin back in Maine with its weathered, grey walls and not a picture or a decoration to be found. If I wasn’t going to use something to hunt, cook or clean with, it wasn’t welcome."
I'm at lost about what the last sentence means. What's hunt, cook and clean with to do with if a cabin is welcome or not? Can anybody explain for me what he's saying here?
