The molding assembly is for use in dressing up a junction or intersection between a wall and a ceiling and to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The molding is shaped in the form of conventional crown molding having yieldable or deflecting securing members disposed at opposite ends. The yieldable securing members are formed to include a throat having a reduced area and an enlarged area. The throat is in open communication with an enlarged area. The retainers each include an inwardly and rearwardly directed hook which is frictionally engageable with a respective yieldable fastener. Successively arranged slots are disposed along the entire length of each retainer for receiving fasteners therethrough to secure the same to a mounting surface. The L-shaped brackets have a plurality of through bores passing therethrough.
