the theme “Fifteen” is closer to what I need.

1. I’d like to know how to adjust (I think) the borders around images I insert into a page to make them smaller; i.e., less white space.

2. Ditto the left sidebar.

3. How do I make the left sidebar narrower?

I found a theme, “Fifteenth” that almost does what I need. I’ll work with it for now…

Please note I want to retain the LEFT menu and get rid of the RIGHT menu…

Thanks for your suggestions.

MORE INFORMATION

In its current state (see, for example, https://new.wrenworks.com/wordpress/?page_id=44 ) the page appears as follows:
Header at the top: 240 x 1260 pixels wide
Left sidebar menu: ~220 pixels wide
Left margin: ~110 pixels wide
Content area: ~470 pixels wide
Right white area: ~ 460 pixels wide
(Note: For reference, in the example, the top image is left-justified; the second image is right-justified. … so you can see the limits of the content area.)
My needs:
1. I want to increase the content area to at 900+ pixels wide, making the right white area and left margin narrower.
The right white area originally contained a right sidebar menu, but I eliminated that be deleting the code:
<?php get_sidebar( ‘content’ ); ?>
From: page.php
2. I’d like a solution that does not require editing page.php to get rid of the right side menu. I have not figured out how to accomplish this in a child theme.
Please help me to accomplish the above.
3. Is there a different theme with which it will be easier to accomplish my goal, but still retain the anticipated cross-browser compatibility of the twentyFourteen theme?
