Si estoy correcto bricolage significa trabajo casero (alguien que no es fontantero, que arreglas grifas o váteres por ejemplo). Si significa eso, bricolage significa do-it-yourself en inglés.
Tambien una persona que arregla varias cosas por dinero es un handyman.

Probablamente eso es lo que significa, pero en actualidad refiere a cositas como figurinas o cualquiera cosa pequeña que gente colecta y poner en una estanteria o colgar en la pared.
Some people call it dust collectors.

These are actually the small trinkets (ornamental figurines, souvenirs, etc.) that people collect and display in their homes. The word comes from the French bric-à-brac (expression of confusion). It can be spelled with the grave accent, or without, but it is usually hyphenated.
These are more commonly called knickknacks (knicknacks) or curios.
