How can I eliminate dead space in the Simple theme?

You can find my website here. I am using the simple theme and love the use of featured banners. The one issue I have is that with the logo/header being there it creates a lot of dead space on my website that leaves an eye sore. I want to be able to move the page up so that the logo header stays left but the banner touches the top of the page right under the login and cart. how do I do this?

@JordanAmaley - difficult on this theme as header takes all space as shown in screenshot and other content is strictly bound in next containers

I suppose to clarify what I was saying; I want to move the logo from the header to the sidebar, that way there isn’t all of that white space created by the logo being in the header.

@JordanAmaley - this will need code editing

I’m aware of this, hence the support ticket..?
