A molding trims out around a door, window and is usually smaller dimension material. A base board runs along the area where the wall meets the floor.

thanks for the reply, and not to disagree with you but i thought that thing that trims out around a door is called a door casing?

A door casing is a type of molding, so is baseboard.

i see. so a baseboard IS a moulding. but a more specific type of it.
so when people say "moulding", are they referring to the part that's in between the ceiling and the wall? sorry i just really want to know what "moulding" specifically refers to.

Moulding is a general term. When "people" say moulding, it depends on who you are talking to as to what they mean. I think most folks who know nothing about it probably mean crown molding and sometimes door casings... Kinda like saying "get me a soda" when you mean "Get me a Coke".
