For a background image for the whole boxed in area (exluding the top header area), just go in your css:

#contentMainWrapper{
background: url(../images/image_name_here.gif)
}

Make sure the image is uploaded to your includes/templates/simple_zen/images folder.

For the new products area, you'll have to create a new css section:

.centerBoxContentsNew {
background: url(../images/image_name_here.gif)
}

Let me know how that works for ya!
