Realize that Bootstrap is as much an HTML/JS framework as it is a CSS framework. Looking at Bootstrap's examples it's pretty obvious how easy it is to make a Bootstrap-backed site look completely different. Bootstrap was made to be used in parts, or as a whole, and has a lot of useful plugins (like their carousel). Abandoning it outright because you don't like the way it looks just makes me think you're a back-end developer that doesn't want to put any effort into the UX/UI of the front-end.
