Opensource ASP.NET CMS or ECommerce that has sites which proposes beautifull templates ?

Question

On PHP Platforms like Worldpress, Joomla, OSCommerce there are plenty of beautifull templates some even free, I cannot find any asp.net cms (the ones in Microsoft Gallery are boring) that has such a variety of templates, am I missing something in my search or do you know some ?

Here's Microsoft's list of Open Source projects for ASP.NET; you can use this as a starting point:

You'll need a basic understanding of CSS to have any chance of success here, because as far as I can see there is no ASP.NET-based blog, CMS or E-Commerce project with the range of templates that Wordpress has.

That said, here's an interesting set of 5 blog posts on how to convert Wordpress themes to BlogEngine.Net themes:
