Correct way to build Bootstrap theme?

Hello,

I'm struggling to find good resources online that would outline correct way of Bootstrap 3.x based theme development. I know that I can override it in my main css and probably take this approach and style all bootstrap components (that I need), but I just wanted to know if there is a structured guide to this, as websites like themeforest (envato) offer templates that look nothing like bootstrap, but use it and feel so clean.

Its a case of just using what you need. - - ie use it as a grid. you don't have to use all the buttons and so on. - can you use LESS? - I tend to include the bootstrap css & js via cdn, then create a less template structure for main css
