When researching for the redesign of Blog Theme Machine I came across a bunch of really cool dark grunge website designs. However, I wanted to create something lighter, easier on the eyes and easy to navigate. But I just couldn’t get away from the idea of using grunge in the design. So I went with a really simple, clean style website that is light and easy to navigate but still uses some pretty great grunge elements.

Below are 35 more great light grunge website designs that I think are worthy of being talked about. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of them.

Its the Halloween season again and in light of that (and the fact that I just seen some awesome 3D carving on the Food Network Challenge show) I wanted to showcase 54 of the most amazing 3D pumpkin carving sculptures. And for those of you who get so inspired by this post, at the end I will post up a link to a picture tutorial on how to do these yourself. So, without further waiting, here are 54 of absolutely STUNNING 3D Pumpkin Carvings. (click the images to view the pumpkins in full size).
