Oh, man! We've had "Please Forgive Me" stuck in our head since we read this article. Our first thought on seeing this Paris home was, "Bryan Adams... really?", but it seems music aside, our taste might be more in common with the 90's balladeer than we would have guessed...
His French carriage house is featured in Elle Decor and it is quite a beauty. The glass ceiling, white walls and pared down aesthetic (not to mention the locale) are all to die for. But one of the most interesting aspects we found was designer Tristan Auer's trick of leveling the uneven floor with a coat of resin. So smart!
Check out Elle Decor for the article and a slideshow of the house.

I'm with you on this one, Lily. I was surprised by how much I liked his home. I want to see his London townhouse!
Brian f**king rocks. Who wouldn't wanna "summer-of-69" on that sofa !
;)
Beautiful. I especially like that basement guest room. I want to see the London place as well.
NINETIES balladeer? You writers must be youngggg. :)
Hubba! Hubba! Hubba! Referring the the apartment and Bryan.
I'm always hearing his name, but I have no clue what he's sung. Nice home though. Can anyone i.d. the sofa?
As a usually proud Canadian, certain Bryan Adams songs (that one guiitar rif in "Run to You"...ahhhh) have always resided in the "secretly ashamed I like this" file. I have to say, that most his "pop" music never really did it for me, but he is actually a pretty multi-layered, intelligent and interesting guy.
"Bryan Admas's"? extra s, really? eww.
I loved his space! I, too, was surprised to see him in Elle Decor, but his home is so beautifully arranged and decorated I couldn't help but swoon over it, especially the basement guest bedroom.
What's wrong with Adams's? Rule Number One in Strunk's Elementary Rules of Usage:
Form the possessive singular of nouns with 's. Follow this rule whatever the final consonant. Thus write,
Charles's friend
Burns's poems
the witch's malice
You know, I hate grammer snobs. Please forget I even responded. I so don't want to be one of those people.
Not in America.
Adams'.
"Eats, shoots, and leaves."
That rule only applies when the word does NOT end with an s.
I forgot to add that part.
Look, either is acceptable.
Adams' would be fine and you may prefer it, no skin off my back. But Adams's is not wrong. If you were referring to a house owned by two men, both named Adam and known collectively as "The Adams", than yes, it would be Adams'. However Adams in this context is singular. You may not like s's but it isn't wrong.
