Oh Bernice! is an interior design studio and historic building restoration business located in Burr Oak, MI. The business was started by Tana Yunker and Bill McDaniel to restore historic buildings in the small village and boost local commerce. Most of the downtown buildings had fallen into disrepair, and some were even demolished. McDaniel purchased a block of remaining historic structures set for demolition. The business has so far completed restoring one of the four buildings, which is now open to the public. They maintain a Facebook page to share their progress and vision of bringing the town's historic buildings back to their former glory.
