Yes, that will be fine. The bedroom will probably be better because it will be quiter in there. Change the bedding so it is all fresh. Mae her and the puppies comfortable and leave them alone for tomight. Congrats on the new babies! I love it when there are pups in the house.

Ditto all of the above answers.....but also don't be surprised if she takes the puppies and brings them back into the kitchen. I don't expect this to happen since the bedroom sounds much more cozy....but if she does want to go back in to the kitchen with the pups, then let her. (It will just stress her out if you keep trying to move her somewhere she doesn't want to be). Good luck!
PS...warm water bottles are a great idea (as mentioned above) but don't let anyone talk you into using a heating pad (even on low settings covered by towels)....bad idea!!!

No problem. A number of years ago my little Border Collie mix went and built a nest in the bark under the Eucalyptus trees to have her puppies in the middle of the night. The next morning I moved them to the shed and blocked it so she could jump in and out but the pups could not get out. She was a good mom and took real good care of the pups. How she managed to not have puppies until she was six years old I'll never know. She was a farm dog and always on her own and we had male dogs.

Yes, heating pads are bad! And I don't think it would hurt to move her and the babies... especially if she has given birth to all of the puppies and they have been cleaned. If she is still giving birth and you think it would upset her, wait until she is done.
If she moves them back, then try to set something up for her there. It'll stress her out if you move the puppies too much. My dog gave birth in a chair once and I moved her to a bed in the floor, but she wouldn't have it. She moved them back to the chair. Heh. Sometimes they do the strangest things.
Good luck!

move her to a quiet, warm place 72 degrees at least. Have warm bottles of water, not hot to touch, covered with towels, for the new pup to lay against while she is birthing the next pups.

Yes I'm sure she and the pups will be more comfortable there.
