[SOLVED] creating a vertical space in between left sidebar and centre column area

hello,
is it possible to create a 3px space between the left sidebar and centre column? if not then how can i go about it? i am thinking perhaps one of the ways is to set the border and text padding in the centre area 3px to the left, so it looks like space. but how do i do that? Cheers
