My general home tools are peg-boarded in the basement workshop. That works well because you see at a glance what's there and what's missing.

I have a recurring problem with my bike tools however. I love working on the bikes on the back patio (canopy, and shade, and music, and fridge, and outdoors, and ride in/out, rain-or-shine, great spot!), so I carry large tool boxes, and junk drawers, and plastic boxes, and truing stands, and work stands, and other stuff back and forth a lot. Stuff is always somewhere in between areas. I get significant exercise running around looking for tools. Sort of sucks but better than everything else (except golfing or riding).
