Espaço entre a borda da sidebar

Bom dia, estou usando o tema Lovecraft, fiz algumas alterações e acrescentei um background na sidebar que por natureza não tinha. Ficou da seguinte maneira http://i.imgur.com/P1N5JFZ.png

Porém eu quero que tenha um espaço em branco entre a borda da sidebar e o início do conteúdo.

Creio que a alteração seja feito nesse pedaço do style.css porém não consegui
