Ok, the wood trim at the base of the wall where it meets the floor is called "baseboard". The wooden trim just above that (about halfway up the wall) is called a "chair rail" (since it prevents the backs of chairs from scuffing against the walls, thereby protecting both the wall and the chair) and the space between the two (baseboard and chair rail) is the "wainscoting" (don't ask, I have no clue why, that's just what they call it). Wood trim that goes at the top of the wall where the wall meets the ceiling is called "crown molding (or moulding)". A picture rail is set higher up on the wall (approx. 4.5 to 5.5 ft.) than a chair rail (3.5 to 4 ft.)in most cases and that's basically the only difference between the two. Sooooo...next time you're talking to your local interior decorator, you'll have a better idea of what that gibberish they're speaking means. :) Kate (who drives them totally bananas at the local Home Depot)
